Supports lack of ambient transaction when auto-enlisting is activated
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DNET-764
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-764
Project: .NET Data provider
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: ADO.NET Provider
Affects Versions: 5.9.1.0
Reporter: Frédéric Delaporte
Assignee: Jiri Cincura
When auto-enlistment is enabled, opening a Firebird connection without an
ongoing ambient system transaction fails with error:
System.InvalidOperationException : There is no active TransactionScope to
enlist transactions.
Quite self explanatory. But this behavior is exclusive to Firebird and quite
unexpected for users of other database connections, and also unexpected
according to MSDN about auto-enlistment:
> A connection object will automatically enlist in an existing distributed
> transaction if it determines that a transaction is active, which, in
> System.Transaction terms, means that Transaction.Current is not null.
> Automatic transaction enlistment occurs when the connection is opened. It
> will not happen after that even if a command is executed inside of a
> transaction scope.

Usually, enabling auto-enlistment does not mandate an active transaction for
opening connection. The connection simply does not enlist to anything when
opened if there are no active transaction at that time. (Thankfully, since most
other db connections have auto-enlistment enabled by default.)
For reference, here is the list of other connections which I have tested and
support opening with auto-enlistment enabled and lack of ambient transaction:
SqlConnection, SQLiteConnection, SqlCeConnection, OdbcConnection,
OracleConnection (managed & unmanaged), NpgsqlConnection, MySqlConnection.
