If the database doesn't automatically commit when you close a connection, then 
just have the code

cursor.execute("INSERT INTO ORDER(ORDERNO) VALUES(12345);
                INSERT INTO ORDERLINE(ORDERNO,QTY) VALUES(12345,20);
                INSERT INTO ORDERLINE(ORDERNO,QTY) VALUES(12345,50);")
conn.commit()

Then if any exceptions are raised, the commit won't be reached and the 
transaction will be turfed.
