Examples

The following example creates an OracleConnection and an OracleTransaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, Commit, and Rollback methods.

C#
public void RunOracleTransaction(string connectionString)
{
    using (OracleConnection connection = new OracleConnection(connectionString))
    {
        connection.Open();

        OracleCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
        OracleTransaction transaction;

        // Start a local transaction
        transaction = connection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted);
        // Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction
        command.Transaction = transaction;

        try
        {
            command.CommandText =
                "INSERT INTO Dept (DeptNo, Dname, Loc) values (50, 'TECHNOLOGY', 'DENVER')";
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            command.CommandText =
                "INSERT INTO Dept (DeptNo, Dname, Loc) values (60, 'ENGINEERING', 'KANSAS CITY')";
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            transaction.Commit();
            Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            transaction.Rollback();
            Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.");
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The transaction can be rolled back only from a pending state (after BeginTransaction has been called, but before Commit is called).
