Hi, not exceptionally dumb, but rather touching a sensitive issue. I've used simple wrappers in one of my applications that could easily be moved into libdbi. I think a transaction interface has been missing from libdbi because some database engines that were supported in the days of yore did not have transaction support. I think most database engines which are supported or have experimental support these days support transactions by sending queries along the lines of "begin" or "begin work" etc. This should be easy to retrofit. I'lls see if I find some time but feel free to beat me at it. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
