After successfully connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server database using SQLCA in PowerBuilder 2022 R2 and the MSOLEDBSQL 19.3.3.0 driver, I am trying to call the sp_addapprole stored procedure using the following code:

string ls_sql
ls_sql = "sp_setapprole @rolename=N'rolename', @password=N'" + "rolepassword" + "'" (rolename and rolepassword have been replaced)
execute immediate :ls_sql;

sqlca.sqlcode is -1

sqlca.sqlerrortext = The procedure 'sys.sp_setapprole' cannot be executed within a transaction.

How can I execute this stored procedure outside a transaction?  Everything we are currently doing is within a transaction.

execute immediate "End Transaction"; returns the following:

SQLSTATE = 42000
Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Transaction'.

The following appears to work:

SQLCA.AutoCommit=false

Connect;

SQLCA.AutoCommit = true

execute immediate :ls_sql;

SQLCA.AutoCommit = false



So apparently you can change the value of AutoCommit after you have connected and it takes effect from that point forward.

Yes, you can now change the AutoCommit "on the fly" vs in the old PowerSoft days of PB you could not. It had to be done before the Connect.

Yes, the AC feature must be used carefully as it takes you out of a Begin/End transaction sequence.

PB Automatically issues an End/Begin transaction on a Commit when AC is false.

Glad that this worked for you .. thanks for the update! :-)

Hi Larry;

   Have you tried ...

  • execute immediate "End Transaction"
  • execute immediate :ls_sql;
  • execute immediate "Begin Transaction"

Regards .. Chris
