Hi all, today I stumpled on a behaviour that I didn't expect this way. And currently I haven't found an explanation. That's the reason why I want to ask you whether you can give me the right hints.
Environment: SL Linux 6.7 64bit MySQL Community Server 5.5.40 perl 5.10.1 DBI 1.633 DBD::mysql 4.038 The smallest programm I can replicate the problem is that: ======================8<=============================== 1 #!/usr/bin/perl 2 use 5.010; 3 use strict; 4 use warnings; 5 6 use utf8; 7 use DBI; 8 9 my %attr = ( 10 'AutoCommit' => 1, 11 'RaiseError' => 1, 12 'FetchHashKeyName' => 'NAME_lc', 13 'mysql_enable_utf8' => 1, 14 ); 15 16 my $dsn = 'dbi:mysql:database=XXXXXXX'; 17 my $user = 'USERUSER'; 18 my $password = 'PASSWORD'; 19 my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, \%attr); 20 21 22 # Prepare 23 $dbh->do("drop table if exists mca_rb_test"); 24 $dbh->do("create table mca_rb_test ( 25 name varchar(20) not null primary key 26 ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci" 27 ); 28 29 doit($dbh); 30 31 $dbh->disconnect; 32 say "Ende"; 33 34 35 sub doit { 36 my $dbh = shift; 37 38 local $dbh->{'AutoCommit'} = 1; 39 40 $dbh->begin_work; 41 $dbh->do("insert into mca_rb_test values ('short')"); 42 $dbh->do("insert into mca_rb_test values ('looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong')"); 43 $dbh->commit; 44 say "Commit done"; 45 return; 46 } ======================8<=============================== Whithout line 38 I get what I expect. The transaction is opened with begin_work, the first insert statement is done, the second statement raises an exception which is not catched, the DESTROY function issues as rollback against the database. After that I don't see any record in the table. BUT: As soon as I have line 38 in there, which shouldn't change the initially set 'AutoCommit', the first insert is commited to the database even the exeption is raised in the opened transaction. Can someone explain what is happening behind the scenes or give a pointer to some helpful documentation which I have overlooked? Best regards Andreas
