With this feature it's possible to create parallel (via different attachments) processes reading consistent data from a database.
For example, a backup process may create multiple threads paralleling read data from the database.
Also a web service may dispatch distributed sub services paralleling doing some processing.
That is accomplished creating a transaction with SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT [ AT NUMBER <snapshot number> ] or isc_tpb_at_snapshot_number.
The <snapshot number> from the first transaction may be obtained with RDB$GET_CONTEXT('SYSTEM', 'SNAPSHOT_NUMBER') or transaction info call with fb_info_tra_snapshot_number.
Also added CORE-6017 - Add transaction info fb_info_tra_snapshot_number.

That is accomplished creating a transaction with `SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT [ AT NUMBER <snapshot number> ]` or `isc_tpb_at_snapshot_number <snapshot number length> <snapshot number>`.
|
|
|
|
The `snapshot number` from the first transaction may be obtained with `RDB$GET_CONTEXT('SYSTEM', 'SNAPSHOT_NUMBER')` or transaction info call with `fb_info_tra_snapshot_number`.
|
|
|
|
Note that the `snapshot number` passed to the new transaction must be a snapshot of an active transaction.
