Hello
There is also another bug:
connect with autocommit 0ff.
restart mysql
$DB->commit; # This time it will *NOT* give an error. It seems
# that this commit is silently optimized away by DBD::mysql?
insert something;
$DB->rollback; # and the above stuff is still inserted into the DB!
So upon reconnect the driver looses it's track of the autocommit
state. Autocommit is switched on after that.
The above are really two issues, the first being the different
behaviour of commit in case nothing has been sent to the db so far
(not a big problem, I'm working around that by first issuing a dummy
statement after connecting to the db), and the second that of the
loosing autocommit=off mode.
I'm using DBI::VERSION==1.20 and DBD::mysql::VERSION==2.0902
For those wondering how I get reliable transaction behaviour now, see

(esp. DBI_XML/db.pm and DB.pm)
Christian.
