CFTransaction just delays the COMMIT statement in Oracle, and/or issues ROLLBACKs. Thats why Deanna noted the invalid login errors in the logs. Because they are seperate calls to the db. In a procedure not only do you have a true transaction, but you also have row level locking. CFLOCK only locks variables in CF, it has no effect on a database at all.
Say you have a procedure that updates rows in a table. While that procedure is running, those rows are locked. Meaning if any request is made on those rows, that request must wait until the procedure completes (ie. issues a transparent commit). -Adam On 6/7/05, James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry that's not correct.
