Function

behaviour for database.

resultThe previous autocommit value for
database.
Turns autocommit off for database
if value is NIL, and otherwise turns it
on. Returns the old value of autocommit flag.
For RDBMS (such as Oracle) which don't automatically commit changes, turning autocommit on has the effect of explicitly committing changes made whenever SQL statements are executed.
Autocommit is turned on by default.
