How do you access the database?
If you use a component like IBX you should have something like
TIBTransaction. Simply call StartTransaction and later Commit/Rollback.
Generally, "set transaction" is correct. This works with ISQL and
IBExpert. IBConsole OTOH doesn't like that statement, perhaps because it
implicitly starts transaction whenever something is executed.
