Sounds like a difference in semantics :P In my head they're the same thing - if the middle bit fails, it'll roll back. If it works, you continue doing whatever you're doing. If everything succeeds then you commit everything at once. If part of something fails, then you roll it all back. At least you're more protected in the situation I mentioned above where you'd get partial data saved. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
