Forcing a Commit

The DBI defines a method called commit() for explicitly committing any uncommitted data within the current transaction. This method is executed against a valid database handle:

$dbh->commit();

If commit() is invoked while AutoCommit is enabled, a warning will be displayed similar to:

commit ineffective with AutoCommit

which merely tells you that the database changes have already been committed. This warning will also be displayed when commit() is invoked against a database that has no transaction support because, by definition, AutoCommit will be enabled.
