Name

mysql_autocommit − Toggles autocommit mode

Synopsis

#include <mysql.h>


my_bool mysql_autocommit(MYSQL * mysql, my_bool auto_mode);

Description

Toggles autocommit mode on or off for the current database connection. Autocommit mode will be set if mode=1 or unset if mode=0.

Parameters:

	•		mysql is a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3).
	•		auto_mode − whether to turn autocommit on or not.

Notes

	•		Autocommit mode only affects operations on transactional table types. To determine the current state of autocommit mode use the SQL command SELECT @@autocommit or check the server status (see example below).
	•		Be aware: the [mysql_rollback()}(mysql_rollback() function will not work if autocommit mode is switched on.

Examples

# Turn of autocmmit
SET AUTOCOMMIT=0;


# Retrieve autocommit
