BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION (ESQL/C)

When you use Enterprise Replication for data replication, you can use the BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION statement to start a transaction that does not replicate to other database servers.

You cannot execute BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION as a stand-alone embedded statement in Informix® ESQL/C applications. Instead you must execute this statement indirectly. You can use either of the following methods:
  • You can use a combination of the PREPARE and EXECUTE statements to prepare and execute the BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION statement.
  • You can use the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement to prepare and execute BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION in a single step.

You cannot use the DECLARE cursor CURSOR WITH HOLD statement with the BEGIN WORK WITHOUT REPLICATION statement.

For more information about data replication, see the HCL® Informix® Enterprise Replication Guide.
