CREATE TABLE and transactions Is there a way to use CREATE TABLE inside of a transaction in Sybase?
Assuming we're talking about Sybase ASE ...
To allow DDL (eg, create table) to be performed within a transaction the DBA can configure the database (where the DDL is to be performed) with the following:
sp_dboption &lt;dbname&gt;,'ddl in tran',true

NOTE: ddl in tran == true is not recommended since this can lead to excessive blocking, and in some rare cases deadlocking, on system table activity
