{% hint style="info" %}
Executing mysql\_commit() will not affected the behaviour of [autocommit](/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables.md#autocommit). This means, any update or insert statements following mysql\_commit() will be rolled back when the connection gets closed.
