There is a begin_work method, but instead of that, you usually just set AutoCommit off, and use the commit method when you need to commit. Then commit automatically starts a new transaction. If you have AutoCommit set on, then 'begin_work' will disable AutoCommit until you call 'commit'. HTH ----------------- Douglas Wilson Perl Hacker for Hire (Inquire Within)
