I am new to Oracle PL/SQL and am trying to adjust from SQL Server with C# to a Oracle custom web application using PL/SQL for multiple layers of the application.
I currectly am having issues with rolling back a transaction. Since I am using to writing reusable code, I have written my PL/SQL code using packages and methods within those classes. My update procedure first completes validation and if validated successfully, calls a succession of various package methods to complete the save. Unfortunately, my rollback in the EXCEPTION portion of the update procedure does not rollback everything when the Rollback function is called. I'm at a loss as to why it is doing this. My basic code (although not exact due to legal issues) is as follows:
PROCEDURE SaveApplicationData(
variableName IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
--...
seq_id OUT INT )
AS
BEGIN
SET TRANSACTION NAME 'Transaction Name';
--Save initial program record
SaveNewRecord(variableName, seq_id);
IF (seq_id != 0) THEN
--If saved successfully, seq_id represents record ID
package_class.secondarySaveMethod(variableName, seq_id);
second_package_class.anotherSaveMethod(variableName, seq_id);
END IF;
COMMIT;
htp.p('Sequence ID: ' || seq_id);
htp.p('Saved the record"' || programName || '" successfully!');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
utilityPackage.rollbacktransaction;
END SaveApplicationData;
The utilityPackage.rollbacktransaction includes a ROLLBACK as well as the custom error exception handling package used by our organization.
Essentially, it will roll back the section that causes the error, but as soon as it rolls the section back, it continues with the rest of the transaction (and does not roll back previously executed blocks of code).
Please let me know if this does not make sense - and thank you in advance for your help!
