TRANSACTION Procedure

This procedure indicates the start of a new deferred transaction. If you omit this call, then Oracle considers your first call to DBMS_DEFER.CALL to be the start of a new transaction.

Syntax

DBMS_DEFER.TRANSACTION (
   nodes  IN   node_list_t);

Note: This procedure is overloaded. The behavior of the version without an input parameter is similar to that of the version with an input parameter, except that the former uses the nodes in the DEFDEFAULTDEST view instead of using the nodes in the nodes parameter.

Parameters

Table 12-8 TRANSACTION Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
nodes	A PL/SQL index-by table of fully qualified database names to which you want to propagate the deferred calls of the transaction. The table is indexed starting at position 1 and continuing until a NULL entry is found, or the no_data_found exception is raised. The data in the table is case insensitive.

Exceptions

Table 12-9 TRANSACTION Procedure Exceptions

Exception	Description
ORA-23304 (malformedcall)	Previous transaction was not correctly formed or terminated.
ORA-23319	Parameter value is not appropriate.
ORA-23352	Raised by DBMS_DEFER.CALL if the node list contains duplicates.
