Re: how to turn off ODBC auto-commit?

Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration => Application Tab Batch Autocommit Mode (drop down list):

1) Commit only if all statements succeed
2) Commit up to the first failing statement (Oracle7 ODBC Behavior)
3) Commit all successful statements

The 1st option is the default Oracle setting.

Have Fun :)
