In SQL Server, how do I know what transaction mode I’m currently using? Such as autocommit, explicit, or implicit. And how can I change one mode to another using tsql?
Great thanks.

    IF @@TRANCOUNT = 0 PRINT 'No current transaction, autocommit mode (default)'
ELSE IF @@OPTIONS & 2 = 0 PRINT 'Implicit transactions is off, explicit transaction is currently running'
ELSE PRINT 'Implicit transactions is on, implicit or explicit transaction is currently running'

    I don’t think there is a way to determine whether current transaction was started explicitly or implicitly. So, this code just tries to guess: if IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS is OFF, the transaction is assumed to be started explicitly.
