Unable to execute query without a transaction about donald

[pimbrouwers]

This has been completed in the 5.1.3 release. Let me know if you guys have any troubles or concerns!

Hi Will!!

That is most interesting, I never in a million years would've considered this...

We can easily convert the DbConn module to not use explicit transactions, and cause no backwards compat issues. Which is beatiful. But on the other hand, it means duplicating code, since DbConn uses the functionality of DbTran.

Let me think on this, and perhaps we keep this open for a bit to see if anyone else encounters similar problems.

Out of curiousity are you able to have your permissions extended to create transactions? I see no reason why a DBA (I am one for crying out loud haha) would restrict you from this, outside from the worry that you may not clean it up (commit or rollback). But even that isn't a big concern.

This is a potential issue for a utility I'm working on. Theoretically every user is a DB admin already, or could get the necessary access, but I can envision scenarios where it's handed out under a much more restricted context.

[pimbrouwers]

Sounds good guys. I will make this change to support this scenario.

Thank you! I'm happy test or help if you need anything.

@pimbrouwers I could potentially request permission for it, but it's more a matter of the DBA guys having way more responsibilities that they are up to their necks in, and I didn't originally want to distract them or create extra work for them if I could help it. But I'll ask my work mentor if he's cool with me emailing them on Tuesday.

see if anyone else encounters similar problems.

lol, I seriously doubt anyone else would find themselves in this predicament. Something I too "never in a million years would've considered."
