Thank you Heikki! We had a problem where code in one of our program's EJB did not turn the FK CHECK back to 1.
Another program that was started afterwards caused some bad data to be inserted in the database - as though the FK CHECK was = 0. It wasn't until we turned the FK CHECK back to 1 in the first program that the second one started to behave correctly. We use JBoss and MySQL 4.0.21. Any feedback on the nature of JBoss-MySQL transaction management will be most helpful to us. Thank you much in advance - Noga -----Original Message----- From: Heikki Tuuri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 2:56 PM To: Noga Woronoff Cc: Heikki Tuuri Subject: Re: Regarding SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; Noga, please forward this communication to mysql@lists.mysql.com > mysql -u root -p -e "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" < /tmp/dump.sql FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS is a per-session variable. When the above shell command returns, the session ends. Thus, no problem for others.
