RE: How to prevent oracle from committing a transaction?

Richard,

The discussion so far has not found a way to "turn that off" -- even set autocommit off will still commit when you exit (or quit, dang it), unless you EXIT ROLLBACK; Did you find another way? Or is that what you mean?

No Oracle doesn't do commits for checkpoint, log switch or shutdown normal. It will only commit data explicitliy (using the commit command) or implicitly (DDL).
SQL*PLUS by default auto commits for you if you just exit after doing some DML.
But you can turn that off.

Wait a minute here.

Why would oracle do a commit on your transaction just because it needs to do a checkpoint, logfile switch, or shutdown?

What if errors occur during validation?

Do you think Oracle will commit the data anyways?
