The database-level transaction support is pretty thin (and maybe that's enough... I haven't gotten much feedback on it). So if your MySQL database supports transaction (and so does MySQLdb), then SQLObject should. That said, my understanding is that MySQL only has transaction support with a propriety/commercial backend, and I've certainly never seen anyone using transactions with MySQL in the wild. IMHO, it's a feature of MySQL meant to address marketing concerns more than anything, at least for now. Ian |
