Merb + Sequel + mysql transactions

I don’t seem to get the transaction to rollback the inserts performed.
Below are my models

class Group < Sequel::Model
one_to_many :members, :class => :Member, :conditions => {:is_member =>
1}
one_to_many :non_members, :class => :Member, :conditions =>
{:is_member => 0}

def insert
db.transaction do
self.save
self.members.each do |member|
member.insert
end
# force error to check the transaction rolling back
raise(Sequel::Error::Rollback)

self.non_members.each do |member|
 member.insert
end

end

end

end

class Member < Sequel::Model
def insert
db.transaction do
self.save
end
end
end

With this code, when I call group.insert I see the below sql in log.
However, looking in the tables associated, I do see that the group
record and one member record is inserted. Shouldn’t it rollback all the
inserts in case of errors. I tried model.save(:transaction => true) but
that did not change this behavior either. Am I missing something?

The ROLLBACK rolls back everything back to the BEGIN. Looks like it’s
behaving correctly.
