hi, I have been pulling my hair for last couple of days.i want to put few sol statements in TRANSACTION BLOCK. all the tables involved are of type innodb. the first SQL statement in the block is LOAD DATA INFILE. inside the block ( using PHP ) i am checking for errors and incase of error i want to rollback. but strangely when i tried to rollback it just wouldn't do. i thought may be PHP is giving problems. then i did this
=========================================================== SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) select @@autocommit as autocommit; +-----------------+ | autocommit | +-----------------+ | 0 | +-----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) LOAD DATA INFILE '1116560400.csv' INTO TABLE tbltemp FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' (tmp_crdd_no,tmp_serial_no,tmp_date); Query OK, 27265 rows affected (4.48 sec) Records: 27265 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0 rollback; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) =========================================================== when i looked in tbltemp i found out that the CSV file has been loaded although i rolled back the transaction. i used insert statement and rolled back with no problem, so the problem was narrowed down to LOAD DATA INFILE. i have read about LOAD DATA INFILE and found nothing about this strange behavior. is there anything that i am missing out?
