Controls how the driver delimits the start of a local transaction.
Valid Values
implicit | explicit
Behavior
If set to implicit, the driver uses implicit transaction mode. This means that Sybase, not the driver, automatically starts a transaction when a transactionable statement is executed. Typically, implicit transaction mode is more efficient than explicit transaction mode because the driver does not have to send commands to start a transaction and a transaction is not started until it is needed. When TRUNCATE TABLE statements are used with implicit transaction mode, Sybase may roll back the transaction if an error occurs. If this occurs, use the explicit value for this property.
If set to explicit, the driver uses explicit transaction mode. This means that the driver, not Sybase, starts a new transaction if the previous transaction was committed or rolled back.
