auto_commit option [Interactive SQL]

Controls whether a COMMIT is performed after each statement.

Allowed values

On, Off

Default

Off

Remarks

If auto_commit is On, a database COMMIT is performed after each successful statement.

By default, a COMMIT or ROLLBACK is performed only when the user issues a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement or a SQL statement that causes an automatic commit (such as the CREATE TABLE statement).

Using a data source in Interactive SQL

By default, ODBC operates in autocommit mode. Even if you have set the auto_commit option to Off in Interactive SQL, ODBC's setting will override Interactive SQL's. You can change ODBC's setting using the SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT connection attribute. ODBC autocommit is independent of the chained option.
