Thanks everyone for your responses. Personally I prefer to go with the Perform-Action-Apply when saving the current window. Maybe because it is newer.

Commit Changes should not however be confused with the ‘commit transaction’ in T-SQL or a ‘commit’ in Oracle as was by Mark following his SQL – at least that was my understanding of what he was attempting to do.... A Direct SQL once run from the Direct SQL action, is automatically followed by a commit when necessary.

The AR Server performs the commit after the successful execution of that query wherever a commit is required (in case of insert, update or delete). Perform-Action-Apply is used for submitting in a submit or modify window and search in a search window while commit changes is used to push the values from a child window in a dialog box operation to the parent window after the child is closed, on fields where there was a mapping on window close between the parent and child window..

Is one better to use than the other on ARS 6.3? I have one active link that populates data from a SQL query and a second active link to commit the changes. These were probably created under ARS 3 or 4. The Commit Changes does the job but always looking to smart way to do things.
