Syntax options: PRESTARTED TRANSACTIONS ARE ENABLED PRESTARTED TRANSACTIONS ARE DISABLED Enables or disables the prestarting of transactions. Note that the keyword ON, available in previous versions, is synonymous with ENABLED, and the OFF keyword is synonymous with the DISABLED keyword. This clause is used to establish a permanent database setting for prestarted transactions. In prior versions, this clause was only used to temporarily set the mode for prestarted transaction for the implicit attach performed by the CREATE DATABASE and IMPORT DATABASE statements. The prestart-trans-options can be one of the following clauses: o WAIT n SECONDS FOR TIMEOUT The n represents the number of seconds to wait before aborting the prestarted transaction. Timing out the prestarted transaction may prevent snapshot file growth in environments where servers stay attached to the database with long periods of inactivity. o WAIT n MINUTES FOR TIMEOUT The n represents the number of minutes to wait before aborting the prestarted transaction. o NO TIMEOUT This is the default for a prestarted transaction.
