Hi,

I'm having difficulties understanding the System.Transcaction Integration 
for FbConnection.
(a) Why is it not possible to enlist in a transaction dynamically?
     One has to use Enlist=true in the connection string during Open() to 
get a _enlisted_ connection.
     What if I want to enlist dynamically later? The EnlistTransaction() 
should do that, but it does
     not do what the name says, as it requires the Enlist option to be set. 
And that can only be set
     from the connection string for Open() ....
     If one looks at the Oracle provider, there we have a 
Enlist=false/true/dynamic setting which
     actually better describes the configuration. Even better would be to 
allow dynamic enlistment
     without looking at the connection string options; that should be 
possible.
(b) If Enlist=true is given during Open(), but no System.Transaction is 
returned from System.Transaction.Current,
     the data provider crashes.
(c) The isolation level is hard wired to be ReadCommitted, despite what the 
System.Transactions.Transaction
     instance says. This makes it practically impossible to use other 
isolation levels with Firebird although
     that would easily be possible.
(d) It seems there is no real prepare phase and not a real integration into 
MSDTC supporting reenlistment
     in case of a crashed MSDTC. Is this documented somewhere or am I 
missing something?
(e) It seems to me that prepared statements cannot be used in an enlisted 
transaction as one is not
     able to obtain the database transaction to set that to 
FbCommand.Transaction.

Is anyone else having success with the System.Transaction Integration?
Thanks -

Thomas
