发现报了该错后并不影响系统的功能，事务数据库操作什么的都是OK的，这个错误比较奇怪：如果事务无法开启，那后面的数据库操作应该都无法进行才对呀，可是事实上又不是这样

后来发现是每次把服务器加电开启时才会报这个错，由于我的mysql tomcat等服务都是在开机时自启动的或者是被watchdog自动叫起来的，于是就在想是不是在开机时mysql服务没有完全启动引起的，后来经过测试确定是该原因


于是在tomcat的startup.sh脚本中加上以下语句：

#判断进程mysqld 是否存在，如果不存在就启动它
echo "check The mysqld whether running"
PIDS=`ps -ef |grep mysqld |grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
while [ "$PIDS"x == ""x ]; do
    echo "The mysqld is not running"
    service mysqld start
    sleep 5
    PIDS=`ps -ef |grep mysqld |grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
done
echo "The mysqld is running"

这样就避免了该错误的发生
