Pragma Autonomous transaction:- -- When ever we commit.. all the transactions before the last

commit in that session get saved. Suppose that u hav a senario u jst want a particular transaction

only 2 be save.Inorder to achive that u make this as a seperate transaction which can b commited but

prior to this the txns are not commit.eg: being insert into tab1 () values (); update tab2

set values.. some more stmts.. pragma sutonomus transaction insert into tab3

values(); commit; here.. insert into tab1 is only saved but not tab1 and tab2.

Pragma autonomous transaction:It is used for commiting the particular block only.for e.g if u declare

pragma autonomous transaction suppose there are two insert statement in your Code and if the two

insert fails it will go to the exception part for insertion and in the exception part there is one more

insertion and then u commit. it will commit all the insert stmt which should not happen.for commiting

only the exception part pragma autonomous transaction is used.--Suresh Sajwan

An autonomous transaction is a transaction that is started within the context of another

transaction, called the parent transaction, but is independent of it. An autonomous transaction can

be committed or rolled back regardless of the state of the parent transaction. For making a

transaction autonomous, we should use the PRAGMA PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION A

PRAGMA is a compiler directive, which in this case tells the compiler that this transaction is to be

considered as AUTONOMOUS.

Before that statement that is pragma auto_tra only will save ...

pragadeeshAnswered On : Apr 19th, 2012

Very simple meaning is...

1) Pragama means force (like it says to compiler forcible do this operation)

2) It is used for committing the particular block.

3) We can't rollback this Pragama autonomous block
