Looking at where a ->txn != NULL can come from here: 1. After an _open() this allows to truncate if APR_DBM_RWTRUNC was set. 2. After a _store() and _del(), which do commit implicitly already, there is nothing to commit in _close() (supposedly?) 3. After anything else there is nothing to commit either since they are read operations (supposedly?) So if mdb_txn_commit() does nothing for an "empty" ->tnx (`2.` and `3.`), which seems likely, this commit in close only addresses `1.` right? IOW, it avoids an implicit commit in _open() if APR_DBM_RWTRUNC is set, defering to the next _store() or _del() or _close(), which looks fine/sensible. In the other dbm drivers there does not seem to be any commit/rollback possible or involved, _store() and _del() probably have immediate effect. For now we get the same in lmdb with the implicit commits in _store() and _del(), and I don't think we can avoid that since there is no commit/rollback API in apr_dbm that the user can play with explicitely. So, IIUC, unless we provide this new API (at some point) it seems that the implicit commit in _close() is what we want, as the only possible optimization with transactions for now...
