Description:
Starting with MySQL 5.0.13 InnoDB will only roll back 
the last query on transaction timeouts. In 4.x and up
to 5.0.12 it would abort and roll back the complete
transaction on timeouts as it still does on transaction
deadlocks.

How to repeat:
testcase to be added ...

Suggested fix:
Add a ini setting "innodb_rollback_on_timeout"
to optionally restore the old behavior

Osku,

can you add this also to the Innobase Oy official 5.0 source tree?

Regards,

Patch is included in 5.0.32 and will be in 5.1.15.

Added to Innobase 5.0/5.1 trees.

Hi!

This should be noted in the 5.0.32 changlelog (and 5.0.33 if it is there). It is still missing from the 5.0 online manual.

Regards,

Heikki

Noted in 5.0.32, 5.0.33, 5.1.15 changelogs.

In MySQL 5.0.13 and up, InnoDB rolls back only the last statement on
a transaction timeout. A new option, --innodb_rollback_on_timeout,
causes InnoDB to abort and roll back the entire transaction if a
transaction timeout occurs (the same behavior as before MySQL
5.0.13).

This shouldn't be an option, it should be the default.

The whole point of a transaction is that it is a group of statements that either all succeed, or all fail. Making this behaviour "optional" makes no sense.

This behavior only applies with innodb_lock_wait_timeout and has no affect based on other timeouts (such as wait_timeout, net_read_timeout, and so on).  

In the event of a row level lock timeout, it can be desirable to allow your application to decide what to do (such as ROLLBACK, retry the statement, etc...) so this behavior was added with an option for backwards compatibility if desired.
