AutoCommit

[Arjun Reddy]

Hi,

I have a basic question. Every time we write JDBC Code, is it better that we do Connection.setAutoCommit(false); at the beginning and at the end, do, Connection.commit(); Connection.setAutoCommit(true) and close the connection?

Thanks.

Yes, but it is probably better still to use a transaction, which does all that sort of thing implicitly. Also a transaction will roll back your database if an error occurs.
Maybe better again to use a stored procedure which embodies a transaction.
