Hi,
I'm just going through the undo management lesson in the oracle hand book and thought i should practise what was thought. This is the scenario i thought up and practised but it did not work.
I carried out a DML on a table (DELETE jobs_acquisition).
I then stopped the listener and restarted it to try and see if the will roll back the change as i had not committed it, but nothing happened
What action can i carry out to see the effect of the undo please. I'm thinking of shutting down the database (using immediate). Will that be OK?
Please your posts will be of great help. Thank you.

Listener comes into play ONLY at connection time.
Kill the session for instance if you want it to rollback or just use "rollback".

What do you EXACTLY means with this?

i dont know if the rollback you mentioned has answered my question - I'm yet to try it.

what i meant is what action can i take on the database to notice trigger the undo into action (so to say) i.e assuming i use the rollback (like u mentioned), will it trigger it. or if i shutdown the database suddenly and then i reload it, will it undo my uncommited transactions.

I hope it is clearer now.

thanks

What is "undo into action"? What do you mean with this?
Explain what you understand to "undo" then we can help you.

Sorry about my grammer ("undo into action")

Actually, i just want to know how the undo works.

I know that it is for rolling back uncommited transactions.

I want to know under what conditions will it happen. Assuming i shutdown the database without committing a change (say an update), when i restart it will the undo cause the change i made to roll back? thats just the basic question. i guess i did not phrase it well (my bad).

Thanks

Anytime roll back needs to be done.

Oracle uses the undo information to roll back the uncommitted changes.
