There is no global system variable to set Autocommit; but we can achieve the same with 'init_connect=SET AUTOCOMMIT=0'. This variable can be set from the mysql or in the commandline or in the option file. Like, mysql > SET GLOBAL init_connect='SET AUTOCOMMIT=0'; or mysql>SET @@GLOBAL.init_connect='SET AUTOCOMMIT=0';

or in the option file [mysqld] init_connect='set AUTOCOMMIT=0' or shell> mysqld --init_connect='set AUTOCOMMIT=0' By default AUTOCOMMIT is enabled. ie set to 1. If set to 0, then disabled. check with 2 connections; try inserting or updating in one connection; check in the other with select.

This variable was added in MySQL 4.1.2.

Hi.

I'm puzzled rgd. a/m. Is AUTOCOMMIT a variable? If so, is it a session variable? Should it show up when issuing a "SHOW VARIABLES" command?

How do I set this variable when initalizing a jdbc connection? Can I pass it on the connection URL? Can someone present a code line for this?

How do I set this variable for an interactive console session? Can i do this from the command line? When I attempt this I get: # mysql -p --autocommit=0; mysql: unknown variable 'autocommit=0'
