JDBC - Transactions:: Commit & Rollback

To enable manual transactions instead of auto-commit mode in JDBC, call the setAutoCommit() method on the Connection object, passing false. This allows calling commit() or rollback() to commit or undo database changes made during the transaction. Savepoints can also be used to rollback to a specific point within a transaction by calling setSavepoint() to define a savepoint, then rollback() with the Savepoint object.

JDBC – Transactions:

If JDBC Connection is in auto-commit mode, which it is by default, then every SQL


statement is committed to the database upon its completion.

This technique is better for simple application. in large business application we want
to turn off auto commit mode . Because following region behind there

1. To increase performance
2. To maintain the integrity of business processes

3. To use distributed transactions

To enable manual- transaction support instead of the auto-commit mode that the
JDBC driver uses by default, use the Connection object's setAutoCommit() method. If
you pass a boolean false to setAutoCommit( ), you turn off auto-commit. You can
pass a boolean true to turn it back on again.

Ex.

conn.setAutoCommit(false);

Commit & Rollback


Once you are done with your changes and you want to commit the changes then call
commit() method on connection object as follows:

conn.commit();

Otherwise, to roll back updates to the database made using the Connection named
conn, use the following code:

conn.rollback();
Example:
try
{
//Turn off auto commit
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

String SQL = "INSERT INTO Employees " +


"VALUES (106, 20, 'Rita', 'Tez')";
stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);
//Submit a malformed SQL statement that breaks
String SQL = "INSERTED IN Employees " +
"VALUES (107, 22, 'Sita', 'Singh')";
stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);
// If there is no error.
conn.commit();
}
catch(SQLException se)
{
// If there is any error.
conn.rollback();
}

Using Savepoints:
The new JDBC 3.0 Savepoint interface gives us additional transactional control. Most
modern DBMS support savepoints within their environments such as Oracle's
PL/SQL.

When we set a savepoint we define a logical rollback point within a transaction. If an


error occurs past a savepoint, we can use the rollback method to undo either all the
changes or only the changes made after the savepoint.

Method

1. setSavepoint(String savepointName): defines a new savepoint. It also


returns a Savepoint object.
2. releaseSavepoint(Savepoint savepointName): deletes a savepoint. Notice
that it requires a Savepoint object as a parameter. This object is usually a
savepoint generated by the setSavepoint() method.
try
{
//turn off auto commit
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

//set a Savepoint
Savepoint savepoint1 = conn.setSavepoint("Savepoint1");
String SQL = "INSERT INTO Employees " +
"VALUES (106, 20, 'Rita', 'Tez')";
stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);
//Submit a malformed SQL statement that breaks
String SQL = "INSERTED IN Employees " +
"VALUES (107, 22, 'Sita', 'Tez')";
stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);
// If there is no error, commit the changes.
conn.commit ();

}
catch(SQLException se)
{
// If there is any error.
conn.rollback(savepoint1);
}
