Hi everyone, I could use some help here; has anyone executed an insert statement into Oracle using PHP? I have done a select but insert won't work at all, either through the classic way, or using PDO. It shows activity forever, but doesn't throw any error. However, if there's say a syntax error in the SQL, it is quickly picked. What could I be missing. Will appreciate some help. -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Moses, I got slightly different results with your search than I was getting. It's helping but haven't made much head-way; I'm still hopeful. I was thinking there's a common known problem but I have found nothing yet.. On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 5:30 PM, Moses M.G <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:

Seem to have been finally cracked. The problem was not the code but Oracle. Turns out that anything you do, especially from a client (was using TOAD), must be committed. Otherwise, you will delete rows or truncate table yet the rows will still remain I suppose.. Somehow, the 'uncommitted' activities will will make your life a little difficult. Case in point, I do a select in code which returns rows, then do a select in toad and will not.. same table same db. So where are these rows returned in code coming from?? That was until I began to do the commit thanks to some advise from a DBA. That was my conclusion. On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 5:54 PM, Samuel Waithaka <samwaithaka@gmail.com>wrote:

For all DML you need to commit to be able to view the results in a different session. The toad client and PHP code initiate different sessions. On 2/7/14, Samuel Waithaka <samwaithaka@gmail.com> wrote:

Kennedy, so what you're saying is that the different sessions lock on each other? The 'unlocking' happens after commit? On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 5:36 PM, Kennedy Kairu Kariuki <kkairu@gmail.com>wrote:

lf you doing an insert in one session you'll only see the results in the other after commit. On 2/7/14, Samuel Waithaka <samwaithaka@gmail.com> wrote:
