And while we're at it, how do I switch between autocommit and non-autocommit?

+5  A: 

There is no such thing as autocommit in Oracle (server). Some client applications however default to autocommit (meaning they deliberately issue a commit between each statement). You will have to read the documentation of your application in order to determine if this is the case.

Thanks. Found it:sql*plus: SQL> show autocommit; autocommit OFF SQL> set autocommit ON;sqlpython does not seem to have this feature.

@0x89: SQL*Plus is only a CLIENT application, it is NOT the Oracle DB :)
Vincent Malgrat
Yes, I got that after reading your answer. So I added the information how to set sql*plus to autocommit, so that people who basically just want to know how to switch sql*plus to autocommit can read it here.
