Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [PDO] I want to unify the behavior when changing the
 autocommit mode setting while a transaction is open.

Hi Matteo,

As you say, such behavior varies from DB to DB. However, with the =
current implementation of PDO, we don't know how it will work until you =
actually try it, and each driver has different behavior, so it is =
important to describe how it works in the documentation is also in a =
difficult situation.

Personally, I think it would be better if specifications could be =
standardized to a certain extent, within reason, but what do you think?

Regards.
