Currently the MySQL server and its storage engines are not capable of rolling back operations that define or modify data structures (also known as DDL statements) or operations that alter any of the system tables (the mysql database). Allowing these group of statements to participate in transactions is unfeasible at this time (since rollback has no effect whatsoever on them) and goes against the design of our metadata locking subsystem. The solution is to issue implicit commits before and after those statements execution. This effectively confines each of those statements to its own special transaction and ensures that metadata locks taken during this special transaction are not leaked into posterior statements/transactions.
