Pragma autonomous transaction:It is used for commiting the particular block only.for e.g if u declare
pragma autonomous transaction suppose there are two insert statement in your Code and if the two
insert fails it will go to the exception part for insertion and in the exception part there is one more
insertion and then u commit. it will commit all the insert stmt which should not happen.for commiting
only the exception part pragma autonomous transaction is used.--Suresh Sajwan

An autonomous transaction is a transaction that is started within the context of another
transaction, called the parent transaction, but is independent of it. An autonomous transaction can
be committed or rolled back regardless of the state of the parent transaction. For making a
transaction autonomous, we should use the PRAGMA PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION A
PRAGMA is a compiler directive, which in this case tells the compiler that this transaction is to be
considered as AUTONOMOUS.

Very simple meaning is...
1) Pragama means force (like it says to compiler forcible do this operation)
2) It is used for committing the particular block.
3) We can't rollback this Pragama autonomous block
