ANSI_CLOSE_CURSORS_ON_ROLLBACK Option [TSQL]Locate this document in the navigation structure

Controls whether cursors that were opened WITH HOLD are closed when a ROLLBACK is performed.

Allowed Values

ON

Default

ON

Scope

Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. At the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. At the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.

Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.

Remarks

The ANSI SQL/3 standard requires all cursors be closed when a transaction is rolled back. This option forces that behavior and cannot be changed. The CLOSE_ON_ENDTRANS option overrides this option.
