Hi All,

I am working on a windows application in C#.
I am importing records from a text file and inserting those records in database tables.
My problem is i want to insert records in 2 different databases at once.
For doing this, i need to establish 2 different connections.
I know about SqlTransactions to insert records in more then 1 tables, so if something fails, whole operation will be rollback.
Is there anything similar available which i can use to insert records in 2 different databases, such as if something fails whole operation will be rollback.

Thanks,
Nagendra.

Use stored procedures.Inside one stored procedure you can insert data in multiple databases and incase any of the query fails - rollback everything. For ex:

SQL

Create Procedure Test
As
Begin
  BEGIN TRY
    Begin Tran

   Insert into table1db1 ...


   Insert into NameOfDatabase1.dbo.table2db2 ...

    COMMIT TRAN
  END TRY
  BEGIN CATCH
    ROLLBACK TRAN
  END CATCH
END
