Oracle Using CONNECT, DISCONNECT, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK

The following table lists each transaction management statement and describes how it works when you use any Oracle interface to connect to a database:

Statement

Description

CONNECT

Establishes the database connection. After you assign values to the required properties of the transaction object, you can execute a CONNECT. After the CONNECT completes successfully, PowerBuilder automatically starts an Oracle transaction. This is the start of a logical unit of work.

DISCONNECT

Terminates a successful connection. DISCONNECT automatically executes a COMMIT to guarantee that all changes made to the database since the beginning of the current unit of work are committed.

COMMIT

COMMIT terminates the logical unit of work, guarantees that all changes made to the database since the beginning of the current unit of work become permanent, and starts a new logical unit of work.

ROLLBACK

ROLLBACK terminates a logical unit of work, undoes all changes made to the database since the beginning of the logical unit of work, and starts a new logical unit of work.

NoteOracle does not support the AutoCommit property of the transaction object.
