I am creating Data Provider for my module for Sql Server 2005. Some actions require multiple updations to be made to the database. All the magic happens inside a Stored Procedure for each such action. The procedure performs all the updations in one go. I want these updations to succeed or fail together.

They are called through SqlHelper class from the DataProvider. My question is whether SqlHelper methods initiate a transaction before calling the procedure, or transactions have to be handled through the procedure itself???

Also, I would like to know whether SqlHelper opens & closes connections for each call to its methods or it pools the connections???

the version of the DAB we're using doesn't have a transactional overload, so you'll have to handle transactions within the proc's themselves. When you execute a query through the helper it automatically opens and closes the connection as necessary. By default sqlconnections are all pooled, so these open and closes do not have a large overhead as closing a connection simply deactivates it and leaves it in the pool, if a new connection with the same credentials is then received within a short time period then the connection is reactivated to be used - reactivating a connection is a much quicker operation than creating a new one.
