The client must issue a command to commit or rollback the transaction.
In your example, are you sending all of the SQL lines (including the
COMMIT) as a single execution? It sounds like the interface stops
executing as soon as an error is reached. So perhaps change your code
to execute the COMMIT separately after all the other commands have
executed.
