I ran a create table ... and I got this error but table is created!!:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Can't call rollback when autocommit=true

Specifically in line 260

} finally {
	conn.rollback();
	flush();
}

Why if table is created, always a rollback is executed?

I commented line 260 and worked.
