Hi All,

i understand when writing application code, we should rollback a transaction that fails to commit. this is typically done in the catch block of a try-catch exception handler. but what if the developer does not rollback the transaction? what happens in that case? 

note that i am not asking: what happens if a transaction is not rolled back?

failed transaction = you try to commit it but get an exception back from the database.


There isn't anything special about a failed transaction compared to any other transaction that you leave open.

Might help to describe what the application does with the connection subsequent to the point of attempted commit.
