But has the code of our webapp to be changed ? It's written in php and perl. What i understand is that inserts/updates/deletions in InnoDB tables have to be commited. Yes ? This has to be done in the code ? Or can we use the system variable autocommit ? That means that everything is commited immediately ? Is this a good solution ? What means "By default, client connections begin with autocommit set to 1" in the doc ? That every client connection established via perl/php is started with autocommit=1 ? And when does the commit happen ? When the connection is closed ? Is that helpful ?
