How exactly do you terminate a transaction then?Do you terminate a transaction by closing the cursor? Would this indicate that for each query you perform against the db, you should: - Open cursor - Perform query - Close cursor The concept of cursor in MySQL is apparantly very different from what I originally thought. I always thought the cursor is the "handler" for a certain connection, and that you needed to commit before closing down this handler - else changes were automatically rolled back.
