Right; I was thinking of checkpoint stuff, in a sense. Smaller transactions make things waaay slower :) . --Keith On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 14:03:45 -0500 (EST), Clay Dowling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Keith Herold said: > > I have a batch process that commits sets of 25 pre-built sql scripts > > on a timed basis.

[sqlite] COMMIT versus END
Is there a difference between COMMIT and END TRANSACTION ? I have a batch process that commits sets of 25 pre-built sql scripts on a timed basis. I have been wrapping the execution of all 25 sets in a single begin...end transaction set. The problem is that if any of those scripts fails to execute properly, than all 25 scripts are rolled back. It would be nice to get a bit better granuality, with partial commits or something. Enter COMMIT. Does it allow you to commit portions of the sql scripts? I.e., could I start a BEGIN TRANSACTION; then at the end of each script execute a COMMIT to successfully commit that portion, and then proceed to the end, and END TRANSACTION. That way, if somewhere down the line, I lose the 15th file, at least the first 14 are in the database. Or is COMMIT a synonym for END TRANSACTION? -- Keith ** - Ever notice how 'big' isn't, compared to 'small'? - I'm not a professional; I just get paid to do this. - Rules for programming: 1.
