<h1 class="topictitle1">Transactions</h1>
|
|
<div><p>A transaction is a logical unit of work. To complete a logical
|
|
unit of work, several actions may have to be taken against a database.</p>
|
|
<p> Transactional support allows applications to ensure the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>All the steps to complete a logical unit of work are followed.</li>
|
|
<li>When one of the steps to the unit of work files fails, all the work done
|
|
as part of that logical unit of work can be undone and the database can return
|
|
to its previous state before the transaction began.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Transactions are used to provide data integrity, correct application semantics,
|
|
and a consistent view of data during concurrent access. All Java™ Database
|
|
Connectivity (JDBC) compliant drivers must support transactions.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This section only discusses local transactions and the standard JDBC
|
|
concept of transactions. Java and the native JDBC driver support
|
|
the Java Transaction
|
|
API (JTA), distributed transactions, and the two-phase commit protocol (2PC).</div>
|
|
<p>All transactional work is handled at the Connection object level. When
|
|
the work for a transaction completes, it can be finalized by calling the commit
|
|
method. If the application aborts the transaction, the rollback method is
|
|
called.</p>
|
|
<p>All Statement objects under a connection are a part of the transaction.
|
|
This means is that if an application creates three Statement objects and uses
|
|
each object to make changes to the database, when a commit or rollback call
|
|
happens, the work for all three statements either becomes permanent or is
|
|
discarded.</p>
|
|
<p>The commit and rollback SQL statements are used to finalize transactions
|
|
when working purely with SQL. These SQL statements cannot be dynamically prepared
|
|
and you should not attempt to use them in your JDBC applications to complete
|
|
transactions.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="transaut.htm">Auto-commit mode</a></strong><br />
|
|
By default, JDBC uses an operation mode called auto-commit. This means that every update to the database is immediately made permanent.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="transiso.htm">Transaction isolation levels</a></strong><br />
|
|
Transaction isolation levels specify what data is visible to statements within a transaction. These levels directly impact the level of concurrent access by defining what interaction is possible between transactions against the same target data source.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="savepnts.htm">Savepoints</a></strong><br />
|
|
Savepoints allow the setting of "staging points" in a transaction.
|
|
Savepoints are checkpoints that the application can roll back to without throwing
|
|
away the entire transaction. Savepoints are new in JDBC 3.0, meaning that
|
|
the application must run on Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 or a subsequent
|
|
release to use them. Moreover, savepoints are new to the Developer Kit for Java,
|
|
meaning that savepoints are not supported if JDK 1.4 or a subsequent release
|
|
is not used with previous releases of the Developer Kit for Java.</li>
