Is it possible to create LIGHTWEIGHT transactions using TransactionScope() with SQL2000? Or if not, is there a workaround using CommitableTransaction and/or something similar?
So the answer is, basically, ‘If you want local-to-1-server-transactions on SQL2000, don’t use TransactionScope()’.
Lightweight transactions require support for ‘promotable’ transactions. SQL Server 2000 simply does not have support for this. Promotable transactions were added in SQL Server 2005.
