You have to be using *some* kind of transaction-safe tables (InnoDB and BDB qualify). If you use a table type like MyISAM, then all statements are committed as they execute, and use of a transaction has no meaning. Also, another way to perform a transaction (besides that shown below) is to use BEGIN to begin it and COMMIT or ROLLBACK to end it. The difference is that you don't need to modify the AUTOCOMMIT mode explicitly; BEGIN suspends it temporarily until the transaction has been ended with COMMIT or ROLLBACK. > >Thanks, >Steve. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Michael Bretterklieber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 2:49 AM >To: Php-Db (E-mail) >Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Innodb and transactions. > > >Hi, > >you have to do something like this: > >mysql_query('SET AUTOCOMMIT=0'); >.... >mysql_query('COMMIT'); or mysql_query('ROLLBACK'); >mysql_query('SET AUTOCOMMIT=1'); > >bye, > >Steve Bradwell schrieb: >> Hi all, >> >> I have just figured out and set up my Innodb on my mysql server so I can >use >> transactions Begin, commit, rollback.
