RE: Remote Select opening transaction

Hi. I am pretty sure your information is incorrect. I have never seen a select across a db link open a transaction.

Subject: Remote Select opening transaction  

Hello,

In Oracle 8, when performing a select query on another database threw DB link, Oracle opens a transaction that could only be closed by commit or rollback. That could be harmful when developers are not aware of this and don't close transaction. (leading to ORA-01562.)

What is the reason of this behaviour ? Is there some docs / faq explaining this ?
Is this feature also common to later versions of Oracle ?

Thanks a lot for any piece of information given,
