Ummm, I'll have to look at the code again before I answer with authority. In general though, "thou shalt not toggle autocommit at run time in portable applications", and "thou shall enable autocommit only at handle creation time in portable applications". > 6) Does it make sense to have fetch() as part of the statement object > instead of having result sets having their own class? It's less painful to use having the the result set merged into the statement handle, so IMO (and that of the perl guys) this is better than having a separate result set class. --Wez.
