Connecting to an existing transaction state.

Hello,

I’m in the process of creating a set of scripts for testing certain locking features in an application.
What I would like to do:
1. Start a connection from machine-01 through the m01-s1.sql script.
2.While (1) is running, start another transaction on the same database from machine-02 using m02-s1.sql.

At this point in time, there are two open transactions on certain tables in the same database.

3. Using m01-s2.sql I would like to execute a certain SQL statement – BUT within the scope of the transaction begun by
m01-s1.sql.
4. Current situation: Since there are several .sql scripts, each getting its own connection and executing sql stmts –
theyare not aware of activities of the other scripts (i.e. the open transactions). 
5. What I’d like to do: After a transaction has been started from a machine, I should be able to save the transaction
reference(id?) temporarily somewhere. 
6. The next statement (new .sql file) that wishes to execute within the scope of the above transaction – should be able
toget the transaction reference (id) and latch onto it in its current state. This way it continues to perform as part
ofa whole – rather than only executing the statements that it had. 

Any guidance in this will help.

Cheers!
