> When doing an update that fails to update any rows, does a Rollback or a
> Commit need to be done at the end?
>
> We have a problem with some code where an update is attempted, but after
> the SQL command has run SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0 so no rows were updated. The
> program does not then perform a Commit or Rollback. This appears to be
> causing some locking problems, but how can any thing be locked if no rows
> were updated?
