RE: How to do a savepoint in DBI/DBD::Oracle?

Shortly after I asked my question on the list, I discovered DBIx::Connector.

Our Perl programmers didn't like the idea, due to the extra layer it adds to transaction management.

There's also been some discussion of simply putting "savepoint" in a prepared statement....?

Nothing tested yet, we're still investigating. If anything I say here makes you think I'm lacking a clue, that would be because, as far as Perl goes, I am pretty clueless.... :-)

Thanks,

-Mark

Hi Mark,
I believe you'll need to install an additional Perl modules for that (I hope that's an option in your case):

DBIx::Connector::Driver::Oracle

Name

DBIx::Connector::Driver::Oracle - Oracle-specific connection interface Description

This subclass of DBIx::Connector::Driver provides Oracle-specific implementations of the following methods:

ping
savepoint
release
rollback_to
