Insert Statement

Not using bind variables (MySQL and Oracle):
$DB->BeginTrans();



Using bind variables:
$DB->BeginTrans();


PL/SQL Insert Benchmark
Appears to not initiate a transaction.  I'm assuming this is because
it's implicitly within a transaction?  Oddly enough, I am seeing
explicit commits here.

It appears that the benchmarks are attempting to use transactions,
however, I have no idea if MySQL's HEAP supports them.  For all I know,
transactions are being silently ignored.
