I believe the ';exit' command issues a commit; quit issues rollback.

However, I cannot find this in the docs.

Subject: sql*plus autocommit and exit

Hi:

I have a autocommit value set to OFF however when I exit from SQL*Plus it commits the transaction. Is it a expected behavior?

SQL> show auto
autocommit OFF

SQL> delete from t1;
48601 rows deleted.

SQL> exit
