Could something be added to the docs then to elaborate on how the context manager works in regards to how things are committed/rolledback ?
I just added comments to the existing example ( http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/orm/session.html?highlight=begin_nested#using-savepoint ) ------- for record in records: try: # start the context manager with session.begin_nested(): session.merge(record) # if not exception is raised, the savepoint is automatically released except: # if an exception is raised, the savepoint is automatically rolled back print "Skipped record %s" % record # commit the actual session session.commit() -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
