While transactions are frequently used to provide atomicity to
|
||
multiple database
|
||
|
||
operations, it is sometimes necessary to perform
|
||
a single database
|
||
|
||
operation under the control of a transaction.
|
||
Rather than force you to obtain a transaction, perform the single
|
||
write operation, and then either commit or abort the transaction,
|
||
you can automatically group this sequence of events using
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>auto commit</em></span>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To use auto commit:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="orderedlist">
|
||
<ol type="1">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Open your environment and your databases
|
||
|
||
so that they support
|
||
transactions. See <a href="enabletxn.html">Enabling Transactions</a>
|
||
for details.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that frequently auto commit is used for the environment
|
||
or database open. To use auto commit for either your
|
||
environment or database open, specify
|
||
<tt class="literal">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</tt> to the
|
||
|
||
<tt class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_flags()</tt>
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
<tt class="methodname">DB->open()</tt>
|
||
|
||
method. If you specify auto commit for the environment
|
||
open, then you do not need to also specify auto commit
|
||
for the database open.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Do not provide a transactional handle to the method that is
|
||
performing the database
|
||
|
||
write operation.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that auto commit is not available for cursors. You must always
|
||
open your cursor using a transaction if you want the cursor's
|
||
operations to be transactional protected. See
|
||
<a href="txncursor.html">Transactional Cursors</a> for details on using
|
||
transactional cursors.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example, the following uses auto commit to perform the database write operation:
|
||
</p>

||
