Hi there all
 
As usual I/We am arguing with a developer, guess it is a normal thing
for us all.
 
Does anyone know of a document stating/mentioning the implied
dbms_job.RUN that is called by oracle for a job when the time is reached
for the job on the queue.
 
This is because our developer only realized now that there is an implied
commit on the dbms_job.run when the procedure/package called is not
autonomous as stated in NOTE: 61730.1 on metalink.
 
They are not believing us that oracle just calls dbms_job.run(job
number) at the requested time and this has a build in commit they never
considered before.
 
Was discovered when they asked us to kill a job and was horrified to
find that the work done in the job was commited.
George
