cftransaction

Say I have code that is accesses multiple datasources.  CFTransaction cannot be used across multiple datasources. My question is can I make two CFTransaction blocks and on the first one set a CFTransaction SavePoint. Then if the second CFTransation errors can I roll back the first CFTransaction save point? Dummmy code: Cftransaction start Cftransaction set a save point1                 Do some queries on datasource 1 Cftransaction end Cftransaction start Cftry Cftransaction set save point2                 Do some queries on datasource 2 Cfcatch                 Cftransaction rollback save point 1                 Cftransaction rollback save point 2 Cftransaction end

No, I don't think you can do that. CF doesn't support distributed transactions. While CF 9 does allow nested transactions, they don't seem to let you do what you're trying to do here. What you could do - not that I'd recommend this - is have two transactions run essentially in parallel, have a wait/sleep loop in the first, and when the second one completes you could have it set a flag that can be read by the first one and then it could either commit or rollback.
