AUTOCOMMIT=YES | NO

Syntax Description

YES: specifies that all updates, deletes, and inserts are committed (that is, saved to a table) immediately after they are submitted, and no rollback is possible.
NO: specifies that the SAS/ACCESS engine automatically performs the commit when it reaches the DBCOMMIT= value, or the default number of rows if DBCOMMIT is not set.

Details

If you are using the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statement, the default is NO if the data source provider supports transactions and the connection is to update data.

Informix, MySQL: The default is YES.

Netezza: The default is YES for PROC PRINT but NO for updates and for the main LIBNAME connection. For read-only connections and the SQL pass-through facility, the default is YES.
