Console Command Begin

Begin a new transaction

Introduction

OrientDB supports Transactions. To begin a new transaction use the begin command. Once a transaction is begun to make persistent the changes you have to call the commit command. To abort the changes call rollback command instead.

Syntax

    begin

Example

    orientdb> begin
    Transaction 1 is running
    
    orientdb> begin
    Error: an active transaction is currently open (id=1). Commit or rollback before starting a new one.
    
    orientdb> insert into account (name) values ('tx test')
    
    Inserted record 'Account#9:-2{name:tx test} v0' in 0,004000 sec(s).
    
    orientdb> select from account where name like 'tx%'
    
    ---+---------+--------------------
      #| RID     |name
    ---+---------+--------------------
      0|    #9:-2|tx test
    ---+---------+--------------------

    1 item(s) found. Query executed in 0.076 sec(s).

Until the commit all the new records will have a temporary RID with negative numbers.
