You can also just put the database in transactions mode and
use multiple queries. (Your idea of semicolon-separated queries
would not ensure that, by the way, with DBI AutoCommit on.)

[flag type=transactions table="products inventory pricing"]

[perl tables="products inventory pricing"]

	delete $Scratch->{all_worked};

	my $db = $Db{products};

	$db->query('update products ...')
		or return "erred";
	$db->query('update products ...')
		or return "erred";
	$db->query('update pricing ...')
		or return "erred";

	$Scratch->{all_worked} = 1;

[/perl]

[if scratch all_worked]
    [flag type=commit table="products inventory pricing"]
[else]
    [flag type=rollback table="products inventory pricing"]
[/else]
[/if]

WARNING: If you have opened the table earlier in the page (in the template,
for example), you might have trouble on Postgres or some databases.  Also,
if you try to write after all this you will need to commit that, too, because
the table is opened in transactions mode (i.e. DBI AutoCommit off).

NOTE: We do the flag operations outside of embedded Perl, as otherwise
DBD drivers might have problems (Postgres most likely).
