	NOT if the database adapter follows the db-api PEP/specification. PHP
and other clients may be operating in auto-commit, but any conforming
Python database adapter is supposed to turn auto-commit OFF when connecting
to the server.

>From PEP-249:
"""
 .commit()
          
            Commit any pending transaction to the database. Note that
            if the database supports an auto-commit feature, this must
            be initially off. An interface method may be provided to
            turn it back on.
            
            Database modules that do not support transactions should
            implement this method with void functionality.
