     Turns off autocommit mode.  While autocommit mode is turned off, changes
     made to the database via the PDO object instance are not committed until
     you end the transaction by calling <function>PDO::commit</function>.
     Calling <function>PDO::rollback</function> will roll back all changes to
     the database and return the connection to autocommit mode.
    </para>
    <para>
     Some databases, including MySQL, automatically issue an implicit
     COMMIT when a database definition language (DDL) statement such as
     DROP TABLE or CREATE TABLE is issued within a transaction. The implicit
     COMMIT will prevent you from rolling back any other changes within the
     transaction boundary.

   <refsect1 role="examples">
    &reftitle.examples;
    <para>
     <example><title>Roll back a transaction</title>
      <para>
       The following example begins a transaction and issues two statements
       that modify the database before rolling back the changes. On MySQL,
       however, the DROP TABLE statement automatically commits the
       transaction so that none of the changes in the transaction are rolled
       back.
