Greetings,

I created a table during transaction and was surprised to find out it
still existed after I did a ROLLBACK. The same seems to apply to changes
made using ALTER TABLE statements. 

Is there a simple logical explanation to this behaviour?

Any help would be appreciated.

Demonstration follows:

mysql> SELECT VERSION();
+--------------------+
| VERSION()          |
+--------------------+
| 4.1.7-Debian_4-log |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "have_innodb";
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| have_innodb   | YES   |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SET AUTOCOMMIT=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foo;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)

mysql> START TRANSACTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE foo (bar int) TYPE=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.05 sec)

mysql> ROLLBACK;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE foo;
+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table  | Create Table
                  |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| foo | CREATE TABLE `foo` ( 
`bar` int(11) default NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
