 * Hi,
 * when does the wordpress database commit? Is it instant, or is it and the end 
   of the loop?
 * I ask this because I have a plugin that calls the same function twice, and on
   the first run it inserts something to a table, and on the second run it needs
   to check that whatever was inserted…
 * I am thinking that the function won’t work like this unless I manually commit
   after the first run…am I right?

 * Nah, you most likely won’t need to manually commit unless you’re doing something
   really complex.
 * WordPress closes the connection to the database after every hit to the site, 
   so that will commit if commit has not taken place manually.
