Hi there. Why oci_commit function always returns true even when the transaction fails. I just copied the code in the php manual [Example 1636. oci_commit() example], and runned it, the situation is as follows: * The statements do commit at the moment when oci_commit executes. * But some statements are committed to oracle successfully, when some fails. I think it cannot be called a transaction, and I did used OCI_DEFAULT in the oci_execute function. Code: <?php $conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger'); $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "INSERT INTO employees (name, surname) VALUES ('Maxim', 'Maletsky')"); oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); $committed = oci_commit($conn); if (!$committed) { $error = oci_error($conn); echo 'Commit failed. Oracle reports: ' . $error['message']; } ?> $committed is always true, whenever $stmt executes successfully or fails. I use PHP5.2.12, apache_2.0.63-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.7m.msi, windows xp, Oracle10.1 and oci8 1.2.5. thanks. -- paravoice -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
