There is only one condition under which this would be useful. Current Scenario:
BEGIN Select x into var from inventory where y=const; update inventory.. some more DMLs. some select into var2; if (condition based on var2) use the var; END; here i have to fire the first select query all the 100% of the time. Say if i have a feature to time travel within a transaction, i need to fire that select query on the probability of the condition based on var2 getting true. After that implementation BEGIN; store command id and increment it into cid; some DMLS some select into var2 if(condition based on var2) select into :var as of cid; I know this is a small use-case. But if you think about it, the implementation is very easy. It wouldn't take much time to implement it. Thanks, Gokul.
