  • BTET makes all the queries running between BT and ET as single transaction . If any of query fails then the entire set of queries will not be committed.

  • BTET also has an overhead with locking , since it holds locks on tables till the ET is occured or all the queries have executed successfully

  • DDL statements cannot be used everywhere in BTET processing , but these statements can be given towards the end of BTET transaction.

  • Using large number of BTET caused transient Journal to grow and has tendancy for System Restarts
