Svein -
These are the only properties that I have set for the transaction &
dsql components that I create at runtime:

trans := TIB_Transaction.Create(Form1);
trans.AutoCommit := false;
trans.Isolation := tiConcurrency;
db := TIB_Connection.Create(form1);
trans.IB_Connection := db;
dsql := TIB_DSQL.Create(Form1);
dsql.IB_Connection := db;
dsql.IB_Transaction := trans;
dsql.SQL.Text :=
'INSERT INTO SYMBOLS (SYMBOL) VALUES (:SYMBOL)';

So I don't need to explicitly call starttransaction for this? What
about commit? Isn't the best approach to explicitly specify the
behavior?

Thanks.

DK
