Re: [0.2] getting transactions to work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



this is meant in all honesty,

then whats the point?!

ok, let me put it this way. is there no way to implement pages using transactions?
otherwise it seems to kind of defeat the purpose of them.

You are correct. You cannot have a transaction span multiple pages/scripts.

there seems to be very little info around on actually using transactions with postgres. i've tried to create a page that will take input from a form and insert it into my database. it works if i just do it without transactions but when i try to use with the begin and commit sections of code, it doesn't update the data base. i'm guessing it is doing a rollback when my page loads itself again. can anyone help me out here ?

thanks
