OTL 4.0, Example 634 ("Auto-commit every SQL statement / commit-on-success" mode)

This example demonstrates the traditional auto-commit mode that is usually set at the level of the database connection. In other words, when the mode is set, every execution of a SQL statement is followed by the automatic commit. This auto-commit has nothing to do with the otl_stream auto-commit.

// regular ODBC header files in Windows
