Subject RE: [firebird-support] Re: Creating a view
Author Alan McDonald
Daniel,
yes - you compile but you get a dialog straight away showing either success
or failure of your code. At this point you have two choices if successful (a
commit button or a rollback button) and only one choice if failure
(rollback)
This is all in the "Create View" area.
You can also create a view by running the code in the SQL editor or also in
the SQL Script executive. In the script executive, the default is commit if
there are no errors. In the SQL editor, you run it and commit it manually,
if you do not commit then when you close the editor of IBExpert it asks you
to commit or rollback each transaction you started and have not yet
"completed"
In any case it's very hard not to do something after deciding what you need
todo.
