Hi there all  

As usual I/We am arguing with a developer, guess it is a normal thing for us all.  

Does anyone know of a document stating/mentioning the implied dbms_job.RUN that is called by oracle for a job when the time is reached for the job on the queue.  

This is because our developer only realized now that there is an implied commit on the dbms_job.run when the procedure/package called is not autonomous as stated in NOTE: 61730.1 on metalink.  

They are not believing us that oracle just calls dbms_job.run(job number) at the requested time and this has a build in commit they never considered before.  

Was discovered when they asked us to kill a job and was horrified to find that the work done in the job was commited. George
