如果JDBC連接是在自動提交模式下，它在默認情況下，那麼每個SQL語句都是在其完成時提交到數據庫。
這可能是對簡單的應用程序，但有三個原因，你可能想關閉自動提交和管理自己的事務：
若要控制事務，以及何時更改應用到數據庫。它把單個SQL語句或一組SQL語句作為一個邏輯單元，而且如果任何語句失敗，整個事務失敗。
若要啟用，而不是JDBC驅動程序默認使用auto-commit模式手動事務支持，使用Connection對象的的setAutoCommit()方法。如果傳遞一個布爾值false到setAutoCommit()，關閉自動提交。可以傳遞一個布爾值true將其重新打開。
例如，如果有一個名為conn Connection對象，以下代碼來關閉自動提交：
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
提交和回滾
一旦已經完成了變化，要提交更改，然後調用commit（在連接對象）方法，如下所示：
conn.commit( );
否則回滾更新對數據庫所做的使用命名連接conn，使用下面的代碼：
conn.rollback( );
下面的例子演示瞭如何使用一個提交和回滾對象：
try{ //Assume a valid connection object conn conn.setAutoCommit(false); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); String SQL = "INSERT INTO Employees " + "VALUES (106, 20, 'Rita', 'Tez')"; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); //Submit a malformed SQL statement that breaks String SQL = "INSERTED IN Employees " + "VALUES (107, 22, 'Sita', 'Singh')"; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); // If there is no error. conn.commit();}catch(SQLException se){ // If there is any error. conn.rollback();}在這種情況下沒有上述INSERT語句會成功，一切都將被回滾。
事務提交和回滾示例
以下是使用事務提交和回滾描述的例子。
基於對環境和數據庫安裝在前面的章節中做此示例代碼已學習過。
複製過去下面的例子中JDBCExample.java，編譯並運行，如下所示：
//STEP 1. Import required packagesimport java.sql.*;public class JDBCExample { // JDBC driver name and database URL static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/EMP"; // Database credentials static final String USER = "username"; static final String PASS = "password"; public static void main(String[] args) { Connection conn = null; Statement stmt = null; try{ //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); //STEP 3: Open a connection System.out.println("Connecting to database..."); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS); //STEP 4: Set auto commit as false. conn.setAutoCommit(false); //STEP 5: Execute a query to create statment with // required arguments for RS example. System.out.println("Creating statement..."); stmt = conn.createStatement( ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); //STEP 6: INSERT a row into Employees table System.out.println("Inserting one row...."); String SQL = "INSERT INTO Employees " + "VALUES (106, 20, 'Rita', 'Tez')"; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); //STEP 7: INSERT one more row into Employees table SQL = "INSERT INTO Employees " + "VALUES (107, 22, 'Sita', 'Singh')"; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); //STEP 8: Commit data here. System.out.println("Commiting data here...."); conn.commit(); //STEP 9: Now list all the available records. String sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); System.out.println("List result set for reference...."); printRs(rs); //STEP 10: Clean-up environment rs.close(); stmt.close(); conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ //Handle errors for JDBC se.printStackTrace(); // If there is an error then rollback the changes. System.out.println("Rolling back data here...."); try{ if(conn!=null) conn.rollback(); }catch(SQLException se2){ se2.printStackTrace(); }//end try }catch(Exception e){ //Handle errors for Class.forName e.printStackTrace(); }finally{ //finally block used to close resources try{ if(stmt!=null) stmt.close(); }catch(SQLException se2){ }// nothing we can do try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); }//end finally try }//end try System.out.println("Goodbye!");}//end main public static void printRs(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException{ //Ensure we start with first row rs.beforeFirst(); while(rs.next()){ //Retrieve by column name int id = rs.getInt("id"); int age = rs.getInt("age"); String first = rs.getString("first"); String last = rs.getString("last"); //Display values System.out.print("ID: " + id); System.out.print(", Age: " + age); System.out.print(", First: " + first); System.out.println(", Last: " + last); } System.out.println(); }//end printRs()}//end JDBCExample現在讓我們來編譯上面的例子如下：
C:>javac JDBCExample.java
當運行JDBCExample，它會產生以下結果：
C:>java JDBCExample
