Fw: Strange behaviour i.e SQL%FOUND

looked at your suggestion and that doesnt look as the case herei s the output SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Thu Jun 21 15:08:27 2007 (c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation.

In other words, there has been a time when transaction management statements were definitely issuing behind-the-scene database calls but were somewhat assimilated to SQL*Plus commands such as COLUMN, COMPUTE or WHENEVER SQLERROR ... All of a sudden, they became full blown SQL statements. My interpretation is that SQL in SQL%FOUND refers to the DELETE in 8i, and to the COMMIT (that affects no row - well, it('s debatable, but you can say it affects no row) in later versions. I lack the databases at hand, but I suspect that if you issue a COMMIT under SQL*Plus and type L to list the SQL buffer, you will see the prior SQL statement with 8i and the COMMIT in later versions.
