MySQL / PHP transaction behavior

Given:

mysql_query("START TRANSACTION");
mysql_query("UPDATE foo = 'bar'");
die();

die() stops the transaction before I can COMMIT or 开发者_JS百科ROLLBACK. Looking at my tables, it appears that the update doesn't take place, but if I run queries later in another script, are they still part of that initial transaction? Is the transaction still 'open' until I COMMIT or ROLLBACK?


If die kills the connection to mysql then yes, the transaction is closed. If you're just leaving the transaction hanging though you're going to get in trouble.

I would recommend making sure that the transaction and the commit are in the same mysql_query if at all humanly possible to ensure that it actually happens.


It depends on your serialization level. If a transaction is neither committed or rolled back, it should time out after a while and rolled back in the DB. But until then it is an unfinished transaction which might cause inconsistent selects in other non serializable transactions. Dependent on it's level:

  • read uncommitted: you can read the uncommitted, unfinished values until rollback
  • repeatable read (mysql default): you won't read uncommitted values, but as ranges are not locked, a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers WHERE 18 < age AND age < 24 is not guaranteed to return consistent values until rollback
