Enabling Retryable Writes
-------------------------

MongoDB drivers do **not** enable retryable writes by default with the
exception of :ref:`transaction commit and abort operations
<transactions-retry>`.
MongoDB 3.6 introduced support for :ref:`retryable-writes`, but most

by default. For such drivers, retryable writes can be enabled per
connection by including the :urioption:`retryWrites=true
<retryWrites>` option in the :ref:`connection string <mongodb-uri>`
