"No active open transaction..."

    I was expecting this to return an active transaction

    begin transaction

    select * from table1

    dbcc opentran

    (no COMMIT or ROLLBACK)

    What am I missing?

    TIA,

    It's a select. The transaction starts, for the purposes of LSNs and hence OpenTran, when the first log record since the begin tran gets written to the log.
