Unexpected Error with Elastic Transactions on SQL Azure

When using transactions across two SQL Azure V12 databases on one server with .NET 4.6, a severe error (code 8510) occurs. How can this issue be resolved?

hey sophia, i had a similar problm too. maybe its linked with azure’s handling of traansactions. have you tried different connection settings? im curious if using the latest drivers helps. any experrience with that?

hey sophia, try updating your drivers and checking your isolation level settings. i had a similar issue and a patch update seemed to iron out the glitches. might be worth a shot if u havent already. good luck!

I encountered a similar issue and resolved it by reviewing the way transactions were initiated. I switched from relying solely on implicit transactions to managing explicit transaction scopes carefully. This helped in avoiding connection mismanagement that might have led to the severe error. Additionally, I ensured that the distributed transaction settings were correctly configured across both databases. It was important to audit the transaction flow and monitor the logs closely during testing, which ultimately clarified underlying configuration conflicts.

hey sophia, have you looked into tweaking the connection pooling settings? might be a subtle interplay causing the error. im curious how settings like retry policies affect this? lmk if resetting these improved stability, its an area ive seen overlooked sometimes.

hi sophia, i foud that opening both db connections with a uniified transaciton scope fixed the eror for me. also, double-check your enlistment option in the connection string. hope this works out!
