Database Options

These options offer a convenient way to set frequently used parameters. See the Transact-SQL manuals for details on the use and functions of these settings. These values are not updated when they change in the database.

NOTE: The On|Off buttons for options will be unmarked after you click Apply and the command is sent to the database because jisql can not be certain of the current state of these options. For example, you click On for "Use Chained Transactions," click Apply, then execute the same statement in the Input Window, jisql does not get notified that the option's value has changed.

Click Apply to save your changes.

OPTION DESCRIPTION
Maximal Number of Rows to return (rowcount) Causes the query (select, insert, update, or delete) to stop processing after the specified number of rows are affected. To turn this option off, enter 0 (zero).
Limit of Text or Image size to return (textsize)

Specifies the limit, in bytes, of the text or image data to be returned with a select statement.

Set the transaction isolation level (0 - 3)

Specifies the degree to which data can be accessed by other users during a transaction.

0 - Other transactions are blocked from modifying the data until the transaction commits. However, other transactions can still read the uncommitted data.

1 - Prevents one transaction modifying a row while a second transaction reads the row before the first transaction commits the change.

2 - Prevents one transaction from reading a row while a second transaction modifies the same row.

3 - Prevents one transaction from reading a set of rows that satisfy a query, while a second transaction modifies the data. This ensures that data read by one transaction is valid until the end of that transaction.

Show number of rows affected Turns the display on or off of rows affected by an insert, update, or delete statement. The default is "Off."
Use Chained Transactions (chained) In chained mode, all data retrieval and modification commands (delete, insert, open, fetch, select, and update) begin a transaction. This behavior is incompatible with many T-SQL applications. The default is "Off."
Recognize delimited identifiers (quoted_identifier) This option allows the database to recognize delimited identifiers. Each time you use the quoted identifier in a statement, you must enclose it in double quotes. When this option is set to "On," do not use double quotes around character or date strings; use single quotes instead. To insert a single quote into a column, use two consecutive single quotation marks. The default is "Off."
