I am facing issues like whenever I open SQL windows and run any SQL transaction (insert, update or delete or any modification in procedure), it asks about uncommitted transaction.
How to fix this permanently?
Sounds like you probably have SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS on.
This will open a new transaction implicitly when it encounters statements such as insert, update or delete and no transaction is open and will require an explicit commit or rollback.
Implicit transactions may unexpectedly be ON due to ANSI defaults. For details see SET ANSI_DEFAULTS (Transact-SQL).
IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON is not popular. In most cases where IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS is ON, it is because the choice of SET ANSI_DEFAULTS ON has been made.
You need to go into the connection properties and ensure you have not enabled implicit transactions either explicitly or implicitly.
When you use BEGIN TRANSACTION you also need to either COMMIT TRANSACTION if it has done all the work you want correctly or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION if there has been issues and you want to return to the state before the start of the transaction.

Can i use return statement in a sql transaction procedure?
Sql Procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspProcessStudentRecord]
AS
Begin Transaction
insert into dbo.Student(name,address) values('ABC','INDIA');
return;
Commit Transaction
Is it a good practice of writing return inside a Transaction?
Is it a good practice of writing return inside a Transaction?
No. In fact you will get this SQL Server error and the transaction will remain uncommitted:
Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of
BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.
When a transaction is started in a stored procedure, the best practice is to COMMIT or ROLLBACK prior to returning. Also, it's a good practice to specify SET XACT_ABORT ON in procs with explicit transactions to avoid inadvertently leaving a transaction open after a timeout.
rollback transaction will undo it.
returning it will do nothing if you didn't commit it first.
But i do not see any point of doing what you are doing now in your statement unless you are going to use a try catch or some other statement.
If you really do want to be able to commit even if the transaction is rolled back (and the only viable reason I can think of is for logging purposes) there are a couple of options open to you:
Use the Service Broker with event notifications link
Use a linked server pointing back to same DB instance without distributed transaction promotion - this will commit in a completely isolated transaction.
But please first reconsider if this is something you really need to do!
Reading MS documentation on different transaction modes in SQL Server.
Autocommit mode does everything the Implicit and Explicit Transaction mode does with less code, so why should I use Implicit and Explicit Transaction modes in my code ?
Autocommit transaction is only for single query. If you need transaction involving multiple queries, you must use Implicit and Explicit Transaction mode.
As you know sqlserver automatically done the job of transaction commit. But some time we need to commit /rollback on particular condition/logic/business rule(s).
For example, we have one master table and 3 child/details table or say 1 or more child tables.
Suppose, we must save master table entry along with all details table with reference of master table's pk-id. In any case anything an issue then revert whole thing.
So in this scenerio we need to use explicit transaction to commit or rollback as a unit of work. We can use try..catch block for error handling and rollback the transaction.
If we not used this transaction, then after each insert statement sqlserver auto-commit the inserted row and not rollback ever.
I heard in SQL I do not have to commit every statement. Perhaps create I don't have to.
So can you answer me which Statements I have to commit?
I read, that I have to commit all transactions, but I don't know what this is and can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for your help.
Per the SQL standard, most statements that require a transaction will automatically open one.
Some database engines, such as SQL Server, will (by default) automatically commit the transaction if the statement completes successfully. See Autocommit Transactions.
Autocommit mode is the default transaction management mode of the SQL Server Database Engine. Every Transact-SQL statement is committed or rolled back when it completes
SQL Server also has an Implicit Conversions mode which will leave the transaction open until it's explicitly commited.
When operating in this second such mode (which is the default, I believe, for Oracle), or if you've explicitly created a transaction, it's up to you as a developer when to commit the transaction. It should be when you've accomplished a "complete" set of operations against the database.
If you BEGIN a transaction then you have to either ROLLBACK or COMMIT
Example:
BEGIN TRAN
--Your code
INSERT INTO
NewTable
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
COMMIT TRAN
If you do not use that, it is committed upon execution. So the follow will either fail or be committed:
INSERT INTO
NewTable
SELECT *
FROM Table
If there is an error (like there is no NewTable in the DB) the execution will raise an error and the transaction will roll back. If there is no error the transaction will be committed.
I have done some update to my record through SQL Server Manager.
As Update statement is not having explicit commit, I am trying to write it manually.
Update mytable
set status=0;
Commit;
I am getting message as Commit has no begin transaction
The SQL Server Management Studio has implicit commit turned on, so all statements that are executed are implicitly commited.
This might be a scary thing if you come from an Oracle background where the default is to not have commands commited automatically, but it's not that much of a problem.
If you still want to use ad-hoc transactions, you can always execute
BEGIN TRANSACTION
within SSMS, and than the system waits for you to commit the data.
If you want to replicate the Oracle behaviour, and start an implicit transaction, whenever some DML/DDL is issued, you can set the SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS checkbox in
Tools -> Options -> Query Execution -> SQL Server -> ANSI
Sql server unlike oracle does not need commits unless you are using transactions.
Immediatly after your update statement the table will be commited, don't use the commit command in this scenario.
Question:
Normally, you can undo a sql command with rollback.
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
/* run all your SQL statements */
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END CATCH
My question now:
If 'one' did this
UPDATE TABLE_X SET FIELD_X = 'bla'
GO
in SSMS (notice the go at the end) and forgot to specify the WHERE clause,
is it possible (and how) to rollback the implicit transaction that SSMS executed this command in (statements with go at the end are implicitly executed in a transaction) ?
Note:
I didn't do that, but a colleague of mine did a few days ago (without go).
I undid the damage he did (fortunately I made a backup 0.5 hours before he did that), but for the future, it would be good to know this, because this happened to me once, too.
No, you can't, not easily. Restoring from backup is the best option.
see the link below, I think it will help you

GO does not specify the end of an implicit transaction, but the end of a batch. That's why you won't be able (unfortunately) to ROLLBACK your UPDATE after a GO.
From the MSDN page on GO:
GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by the
sqlcmd and osql utilities and SQL Server Management Studio Code
editor.
SQL Server utilities interpret GO as a signal that they should send
the current batch of Transact-SQL statements to an instance of SQL
Server. The current batch of statements is composed of all statements
entered since the last GO, or since the start of the ad hoc session or
script if this is the first GO.
The UPDATE command will only be seen as the start of an implicit transaction if you have specified SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON; (see here). In that case, a number of commands (CREATE, DELETE, UPDATE etcetera) will automatically start a new implicit transaction, and that transaction will not end until you issue a ROLLBACK or a COMMIT.
(See for more info on the difference between transactions and batches in SQL Server for example this question on ServerFault: SQL Server: Statements vs. Batches vs. Transactions vs. Connections.)
