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
