The Python DB-API abstraction provides transaction processing control
through connection object methods. The DB-API specification indicates
that database connections should begin with auto-commit mode disabled.
Therefore, when you open a connection to the database server, MySQLdb
disables auto-commit mode, which implicitly begins a transaction. End
each transaction with either commit()
or
rollback()
.
The commit()
call occurs
within a
try
statement, and
the rollback()
occurs within
the except
clause to cancel the
transaction if an error occurs:
try: cursor = conn.cursor () # move some money from one person to the other cursor.execute ("UPDATE money SET amt = amt - 6 WHERE name = 'Eve'") cursor.execute ("UPDATE money SET amt = amt + 6 WHERE name = 'Ida'") cursor.close () conn.commit() except MySQLdb.Error, e: print "Transaction failed, rolling back. Error was:" print e.args try: # empty exception handler in case rollback fails conn.rollback () except: pass
