greetings,

I don't know if this will solve your problem or not, but on my 
machines, "autoCommit" is set to "true" by default (using PEAR::DB).. so when 
I want to do an operation that I expect to have to rollback, I turn *off* 
autocommit, do my begin, run my queries, then a commit or rollback at the 
end, followed by restoring autoCommit. it sounds to me like that is what is 
happening.
