I am in the process of converting a VFP app to SQL Server database.
I have a routine (sort of business object) that updates several tables and within each table several records. Some process involves comparing values in a VFP cursor against values in the database tables and then making changes to the database table fields.
I don't want this routine to be in a stored procedure. All code should reside in VFP with SQLEXEC calls getting and setting values to the tables and records. Of course, I have to rewrite the entire code because the current VFP code is not structured for SQL Server database.
How do I create a BEGIN TRANSACTION / END TRANSACTION with a bunch of calls to the database with SQLEXEC that would either retrieve or update some tables and records?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
