Sybase ASE - Transactions
This article describes transactions in Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.x and earlier.
Transactions
In Sybase ASE, transactions are explicit by default. This means that each SQL statement is not a part of a logical transaction by default, and it is committed on completion.
To start a transaction in Sybase ASE, you have to run BEGIN TRANSACTION (or BEGIN TRAN) statement. The transaction ends with a corresponding COMMIT TRANSACTION (or COMMIT TRAN) or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION (or ROLLBACK TRAN) statements.
Applications (JDBC, ODBC i.e.) can set Autocommit off to use implicit transactions, and to not commit each statement on completion.
