          If the trigger raises an exception, that will abort the transaction, effectively rolling back. Will this work for you?

            I've found out that this functionnality exists since MySQL 5.5 and do not works in earlier releases.



            The trigger does no rollback or commit.
            To initiate any rollback, you have to raise an exception. Thus your insert/update/delete command will abort.
            The rollback or commit action has to be raised around your SQL command.



            To raise your exception, in your XXX's trigger (eg.) :



            create trigger Trigger_XXX_BeforeInsert before insert on XXX
            for each row begin

            if [Test]
            then

            SIGNAL sqlstate '45001' set message_text = "No way ! You cannot do this !";

            end if ;

            end ;

              From: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/trigger-syntax.html




              The trigger cannot use statements that
              explicitly or implicitly begin or end
              a transaction such as START
              TRANSACTION, COMMIT, or ROLLBACK.




              and




              For transactional tables, failure of a
              statement should cause rollback of all
              changes performed by the statement.
              Failure of a trigger causes the
              statement to fail, so trigger failure
              also causes rollback. For
              nontransactional tables, such rollback
              cannot be done, so although the
              statement fails, any changes performed
              prior to the point of the error remain
              in effect.

                                    Failure of a trigger causes the
                                    statement to fail, so trigger failure
                                    also causes rollback. For
                                    nontransactional tables, such rollback
                                    cannot be done, so although the
                                    statement fails, any changes performed
                                    prior to the point of the error remain
                                    in effect.

                                    From: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/trigger-syntax.html




                                    The trigger cannot use statements that
                                    explicitly or implicitly begin or end
                                    a transaction such as START
                                    TRANSACTION, COMMIT, or ROLLBACK.




                                    and




                                    For transactional tables, failure of a
                                    statement should cause rollback of all
                                    changes performed by the statement.
