Hello,
I've been writing an application that allows me to edit simple maps. It
involves Postgis but here I think I have run into
a basic Postgres consideration.
I did a bit of editing of a map which involved creating a polygon with a
selection, inserting into a database and reloading
the "layer" where this geometric information lies.
There I was editing quite happily for about an hour and a half. I left
my application and came back to it in the evening:
all my work was lost.
Could this be due to the fact I had not committed my insertions to the
database?
I mean, if you are inserting into a table from PLPGSQL do you have to do
an explicit commit at some stage?
I'm really quite a newbie as you can see.
Yes, you really must commit.
Now, sometimes, some languages/tools will "help" you and autocommit. It
depends on what language/tools/etc you are using.
This is a wookie! If that does not make sense, you must commit!
