Hi,

After spending several days looking at the source, experimenting with the
new jgds, and getting confused, I have some questions.

1. Is it possible to do work on the same transaction, in one db, through
more than one connection/dbhandle? If not, how hard is this to implement?

2. Is it possible to add dbs to a transaction that is started but not yet
prepared? ( I know this is a little like read committed transaction
isolation, but the java xa stuff only supports adding resources one at a
time to a transaction, not all at once like isc_start_transaction and
isc_start_multiple). Again, if not, how hard is this to implement?

2.5 With a multi-db transaction, can you call commit on a different
connection/db handle than you started the transaction on?

3. Am I correct in thinking that isc_prepare_transaction2 will allow me to
store an externally generated xid for use in recovery?

Many thanks
