oracle Transactions

Question

is it possible to have only DDL statements with a transaction? and if so, is it possible to get it rollback to the original state, if any one of the DDL statement fails?

Thanks & Regards, priya.R

Answer 1

in Oracle a DDL statement implicitely commits before and after the statement. Each statement is an independant transaction and you won't be able to rollback a successful statement.

A DDL statement however is always atomic: it either succeeds entirely or fails entirely.
