mysql_autocommit(3)

  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

  SQL

        # Turn off autocommit
        SET AUTOCOMMIT=0;
        # Retrieve autocommit
        SELECT @@autocommit;

        | @@autocommit |
        +--------------+
        |            0 |
