note 81343 added to ref.pdo

I encountered a strange problem while writing my unit tests for a database abstraction layer using PDO and transactions: $statement=$pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM tablename'); //works $statement->execute(); $pdo->rollBack(); //error! $statement->execute(); From my point of view a prepared statement has nothing to do with transactions. Even if I rollback the statement should stay prepared. I did the same with the older extension for postgres and this worked!
