RE: Remote Select opening transaction

Hi.  I am pretty sure your information is incorrect.  I have never seen
a select across a db link open a transaction.

Subject: Remote Select opening transaction

 

Hello, 

In Oracle 8, when performing a select query on another database threw DB
link, Oracle opens a transaction that could only be closed by commit or
rollback. That could be harmful when developers are not aware of this
and don't close transaction. (leading to ORA-01562.) 

What is the reason of this behaviour ? Is there some docs / faq
explaining this ? 
Is this feature also common to later versions of Oracle ?

Thanks a lot for any piece of information given,
