As we understand from the MySql documents, implicit commits happen when we do a Alter Table or Add Index query within a stored procedure.
So, this means that any DDL changes will be committed to the Database. So, if you do a Alter Table Add Column, the column will be added implicitly. A Rollback will not change the table structure back to its old DDL. The new column or index will be committed.
Any DML not committed since the last successful commit will be committed into the Database as well.
As per the MySQL documentation:
CREATE TABLE
and DROP TABLE
statements do not commit a transaction if the TEMPORARY
keyword is used. (This does not apply to other operations on temporary tables such as ALTER TABLE
and CREATE INDEX
, which do cause a commit.) However, although no implicit commit occurs, neither can the statement be rolled back, which means that the use of such statements causes transactional atomicity to be violated. For example, if you useCREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
and then roll back the transaction, the table remains in existence.
Example Procedure:
drop procedure if exists testproc_2;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE testproc_2(user_enter varchar(500))
BEGIN
DECLARE v_error bigint;
DECLARE v_file_type, error_msg char(100);
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR sqlexception
BEGIN
SELECT error_msg;
ROLLBACK;
end;
set v_error = 0;
START TRANSACTION;
select user_enter;
insert into int_marks
values (user_enter);
select * from int_marks;
drop temporary table if exists temp_int_marks;
CREATE temporary table temp_int_marks select * from int_marks where 1=2;
ALTER TABLE temp_int_marks ADD INDEX tim_index (member_first_name(20));
select * from int_marks;
select 'Executing';
set error_msg = 'sql failure';
create temporary table temp_int_marks select * from int_marks where 1=2;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Verifying the DDL:
show create table temp_int_marks;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `temp_int_marks` ( `member_first_name` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL COMMENT 'Member First Name', KEY `tim_index` (`member_first_name`(20)) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci
Before the procedure the data in the int_marks table: |
Call the procedure:
call testproc_2('none');
From within the procedure:
The 'none' value passed to the procedure for insertion is shown. On, any sql failure, this should be rolled back and data not committed into the table.
Outside the procedure:
So, the data has been committed to the DB though there was no explicit commit.
The index addition, being an implicit commit is applied to the Database. This also commits any DML that preceded the commit.
We validated the same by opening a new session. The new row has been added to the Database.
