随着MySQL的应用日益广泛，支持事务特性的InnoDB已经成为MySQL的默认存储引擎。和很多关系数据库不同的是，在InnoDB存储引擎中，事务默认是自动提交的，也就是说每条DML语句都会触发commit操作。这一自动提交(autocommit)特性在很多场景下对于性能还是有一定影响的。
最近我们尝试将一个Oracle数据库的数据迁移到MySQL数据库，发现导入时间很长。举个例子来说，其中有一个表包含四千多条数据，插入时间竟然超过了100秒。每插入一条数据，数据库就会自动提交一次，也就是说单这一个表MySQL会commit超过4000次，如果我们关闭自动提交功能，通过程序来控制，只要一次commit就可以了。
那么，如何关闭MySQL的autocommit特性呢？
通常有两种方法：
一种是通过set命令修改会话级别或者数据库级别的参数，但是数据库重启后参数会恢复默认值；第二种方法是修改mysql的配置文件my.ini，一劳永逸。
1.测试环境Windows Server 2008 r2+MySQL Community Server (GPL) 5.7.16我是在Windows Server 2008 r2环境下进行测试。

2.通过set来关闭autocommit，重启后恢复默认值首先，我们通过set命令来修改autocommit参数。

mysql>
mysql> show global variables like '%commit%';
+-----------------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------------------------------+-------+
| autocommit | ON |
| binlog_group_commit_sync_delay | 0 |
| binlog_group_commit_sync_no_delay_count | 0 |
| binlog_order_commits | ON |
| innodb_api_bk_commit_interval | 5 |
| innodb_commit_concurrency | 0 |
| innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit | 1 |
| slave_preserve_commit_order | OFF |
+-----------------------------------------+-------+

| slave_preserve_commit_order | OFF |
+-----------------------------------------+-------+

接下来，我们重启数据库，发现autocommit参数已经恢复默认值。

3.修改mysql的配置文件my.ini我们找到mysql的配置文件my.ini，在里面添加一行记录“autocommit=0”。
点击(此处)折叠或打开
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld]
max_connections=200
default-storage-engine=INNODB
basedir =E:\mysql-5.7.16-winx64\bin
datadir =E:\mysql-5.7.16-winx64\data
port = 3306
autocommit=0
然后重新启动数据库，确认autocommit参数是否为OFF。

我们看到autocommit参数为OFF，目标达成。
4.数据插入速度提升十倍以开头提到的那张表为例，4000多条数据，在关闭autocommit参数之前插入时间为101505ms；关闭autocommit参数之后插入时间为8869ms，插入速度提升了十倍还多。
但是这个时间其实还是蛮长的，继续提升！
