Hey all,
As a solo DBA responsible for a number of SQL Servers in addition to
Oracle, I try to read up on both. One of the (more respected) SQL
Server team blogs had this entry:
https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2018/02/set-implicit_transactions-one-hell-bad-idea/
..where they advocate the default auto-commit because otherwise the row
(or page, or table) is locked should someone forget to COMMIT.
This seems like an extraordinarily bad idea for anything but ad-hoc or
one-off DML (without getting into a sidebar on that particular
practice), whether Oracle or SQL Server or whatever.
Or is it just me and some old-fashioned narrow RDBMS thinking?
