Subject Re: Driver Speed Tests => Autocommit on/off when reading?
Author fredlaub
Hi,
So what is your advice when reading data regarding performance?
Should I use autocommit yes or no?
And if no, if I use a connection for reading only, should I commit or
rollback when returning the connection?
Or rollback and commit is not necessary when a connection is used for
reading only (when no locking is used => for update close)?

Thank you for your advice.
Frederic
