Now, when I try to do some inserts within my transaction I don't know if
they will fail or not. Eitherway I am closing my transaction with the
COMMIT; command - is that correct way ?
It works logically OK from within psql console (I start with BEGIN and then
close my sql commands with commit) but it does not work this way from within
PHP script. I believe there is some issue with PHP - I am not sure if PHP
processor applies some changes to my query and thus ignores the commit
command?
