in thread $dbh->prepare not triggering die

Really? Odd, I lifted that code from a project I'm currently working on, and that does use MySQL. Not my choice, as MySQL isn't much of a database, but newer versions do support transactions - use the InnoDB type of tables.

Why anyone would bother using a database that doesn't support transactions is beyond me. It just doesn't make any sense.

    Lifted straight from the mysql website so I appologise for (slight) miss-information. ;)

    MySQL 3.23.34a (and newer) source releases include the full source for Berkeley DB and InnoDB tables. By using these table handler you can use transactions in MySQL. MySQL-Max has both of these handlers compiled-in.

    Hope this is clearer
