Name

XA

Synopsis

XA {START|BEGIN} 'identifier' [JOIN|RESUME]

XA PREPARE 'identifier'

XA COMMIT 'identifier' [ONE PHASE]

XA ROLLBACK 'identifier'

XA RECOVER

XA END 'identifier' [SUSPEND [FOR MIGRATE]]

This statement is used for XA distributed transactions. These are transactions in which multiple, separate transactional resources may be involved in a global transaction. In MySQL, this is currently available only with InnoDB tables.

The XA START statement starts an XA transaction, assigning an identifier to be used in subsequent statements, and puts the transaction into an ACTIVE state. Implicit commits cannot be made while the transaction is in ACTIVE state. This statement is synonymous with XA BEGIN. The JOIN and RESUME keywords are not supported.

Once you’ve entered all of the SQL statements for a particular session, mark the transaction as PREPARED by executing an XA PREPARE. XA RECOVER lists all transactions in a prepared state. Use the XA COMMIT ONE PHASE statement to mark the XA transaction just given as prepared and committed. XA COMMIT without the ONE PHASE keyword will commit and end the entire transaction. Use XA ROLLBACK to undo the specified XA transaction and terminate it. XA END ends the specified transaction and puts it into an IDLE state.
