This solves a problem I was having some time ago while implementing ecommerce (verisign):
1. insert customer's info 2. authorize credit card 3. log authorization response to database 4. if auth fails roll back #1, but keep #3 I was planning on solving this problem using Oracle's AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION Pragma. I'll look into nested transactions and see how these two differ. Thanks, Jay On 9/7/06, Jonathan Vanasco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
take a look at: http://search.cpan.org/~crakrjack/DBIx-Transaction-0.008/ which allows for nested transactions in a DBI handle.
