<p>
While transactions are frequently used to provide atomicity to
multiple database
operations, it is sometimes necessary to perform
a single database
operation under the control of a transaction.
Rather than force you to obtain a transaction, perform the single
write operation, and then either commit or abort the transaction,
you can automatically group this sequence of events using
<span class="emphasis"><em>auto commit</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
To use auto commit:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Open your environment and your databases
so that they support
transactions. See <a href="enabletxn.html">Enabling Transactions</a>
for details.
</p>
<p>
Note that frequently auto commit is used for the environment
or database open. To use auto commit for either your
environment or database open, specify
<tt class="literal">DB_AUTO_COMMIT</tt> to the
<tt class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_flags()</tt>
or
<tt class="methodname">DB->open()</tt>
method. If you specify auto commit for the environment
open, then you do not need to also specify auto commit
for the database open.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Do not provide a transactional handle to the method that is
performing the database
write operation.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
Note that auto commit is not available for cursors. You must always
open your cursor using a transaction if you want the cursor's
operations to be transactional protected. See
<a href="txncursor.html">Transactional Cursors</a> for details on using
transactional cursors.
</p>
<p>
For example, the following uses auto commit to perform the database write operation:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "db.h"

main(void)
