<p align=center><b>Release 4.4: DB_AUTO_COMMIT</b></p>
<p>In previous Berkeley DB releases, the <a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> flag was used in
the C and C++ Berkeley DB APIs to wrap operations within a transaction without
explicitly creating a transaction and passing the <a href="../../api_c/txn_class.html">DB_TXN</a> handle
as part of the operation method call. In the 4.4 release, the
<a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> flag no longer needs to be explicitly specified.</p>
<p>In the 4.4 release, specifying the <a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> flag to the
<a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html">DB_ENV->set_flags</a> method causes all database modifications in that
environment to be transactional; specifying <a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> to
the <a href="../../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> method causes all modifications to that database to be
transactional; specifying <a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> to the
<a href="../../api_c/env_dbremove.html">DB_ENV->dbremove</a> and <a href="../../api_c/env_dbrename.html">DB_ENV->dbrename</a> methods causes those
specific operations to be transactional.</p>
<p>No related application changes are required for this release, as the
<a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> flag is ignored where it is no longer needed.
However, application writers are encouraged to remove uses of the
<a href="../../api_c/env_set_flags.html#DB_AUTO_COMMIT">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</a> flag in places where it is no longer needed.</p>
<p>Similar changes have been made to the Berkeley DB Tcl API. These changes are
not optional, and Tcl applications will need to remove the -auto_commit
flag from methods where it is no longer needed.</p>
