Copying AutoCommit and Lock syntax from the Preview tab

The easiest way to specify AutoCommit and Lock in a PocketBuilder application script is to copy the PowerScript syntax from the Preview tab in the Database Profile Setup dialog box into your script, modifying the default Transaction object name (SQLCA) if necessary.

As you complete the Database Profile Setup dialog box in the development environment, PocketBuilder generates the correct connection syntax on the Preview tab for each selected option. Therefore, copying the syntax directly from the Preview tab ensures that you use the correct PowerScript syntax in your script.

StepsTo copy AutoCommit and Lock syntax from the Preview tab into your script:

  1. On the Connection tab in the Database Profile Setup dialog box for your connection, supply values for AutoCommit and Lock (Isolation Level) as required.

    For instructions, see “Setting AutoCommit and Lock in the database profile”.

  2. Click Apply to save your changes to the current tab without closing the Database Profile Setup dialog box.

  3. Click the Preview tab.

    The correct PowerScript syntax for each selected option displays in the Database Connection Syntax box.

  4. Select one or more lines of text in the Database Connection Syntax box and click Copy.

    PocketBuilder copies the selected text to the clipboard.

  5. Click OK to close the Database Profile Setup dialog box.

  6. Paste the selected text from the Preview tab into your script, modifying the default Transaction object name (SQLCA) if necessary.
