This property specifies whether the current operation producing this exception can succeed if retried.

Declaration

// C#
public bool IsRecoverable {get;}

Property Value

A bool.

Remarks

When a database outage occurs, such as during a network failure, the session becomes unavailable and the client receives an error code. The client can have difficulty determining whether the in-flight operation committed or needs to be resubmitted. Oracle automatically determines whether an in-flight database operation can be recovered or not using the IsRecoverable property. If IsRecoverable returns true after an outage, then the application can retrieve the current operation status and complete the transaction. If IsRecoverable returns false, then the application can rollback the current operation and resubmit the transaction.

This property is often used in conjunction with Transaction Guard.
