Hi Alan,
Well thanks a lot for the response. But i would like to understand if
all transaction scope does happen at client side what is the
relevance of transaction scope commands like set transaction, commit
and rollback as listed out in the index...or am i using incorrect
syntax.. i have been able to implement similar business logic in MS
Sql Server.

TIA
