No, absolutely not. It will either make one start/commit/end per method call to SQLClient (if you don't start a transaction) or just one that you call explicitly.
The only exception is if you're using Lazy Loading, but that's totally within your control. iBATIS always attempts to use the most efficient transaction scope possible. So you shouldn't have to worry about it. Clinton On 1/25/07, Cornel Antohi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Clinton, Murphy's law is validated again: I am using Oracle :( If I am using in a method N SELECT queries with commitRequired=true, iBATIS makes N commit() (one at the end of each query), right? Do you have any clue / recommendation how to minimize this overhead using iBATIS + Oracle?
