As far as I understand (and I've learned today), Geraldo wanted to
tell you that there is no bi-directional link between the two.
the facts are:
IB_Query needs a connection AND a transaction
IB_tansaction needs a connection
so for every IB_Query you have to specify a Connection + a Transaction
To make things easier, IB_Connection is provided with
DefaultTransaction property, so in IB_Query you can specify only
IB_Connection and leave IB_Transaction property to <default>. That
<default> is the transaction you have choose as DefaultTransaction in
the connection.
So you can have the connection with a default transaction, and specify
<default> in the transaction property of the ib_query, or specify a
particular one at will. If you specify as query transaction the
transaction that you specified as defaulttransaction for the
connection, I think that it will not hurt, but it's a strange setup.
mmmm... did I made more confusion?
hope not ;)
