RE: functions/procedures and commits

[Koivu, Lisa]

Title: Message

The behavior of this may have changed... but I have seen autocommit not work as advertised.  Just my opinion but I think explicit commits are good practice, if nothing else just for ease of reading code.

Or if you set autocommit, in which case a commit is issued every X number of operations.

No ...

an implicit commit is performed
1. If you perform any DDL statement
2. If SQLPLUS you exit without issuing an explicit ROLLBACK.

Otherwise, your transaction will remain open awaiting for an explicit commit or rollback.
