I read that the converting is not difficult. But has the code of our webapp to be changed ? It's written in php and perl.
What i understand is that inserts/updates/deletions in InnoDB tables have to be commited. Yes ?
This has to be done in the code ? Or can we use the system variable autocommit ?
That means that everything is commited immediately ? Is this a good solution ?
What means "By default, client connections begin with autocommit set to 1" in the doc ?
That every client connection established via perl/php is started with autocommit=1 ?
And when does the commit happen ? When the connection is closed ? Is that helpful ?
