I am using 3 MySQL databases simultaneously. I need to insert 3 rows into 3 different databases.
Is it possible to use one transaction to accomplish this? If not, what would be an alternative method?

The databases are separate. You cannot use a transaction across them… that is impossible.
All you can do is perform 3 separate INSERTs.
Now, I suppose you could start a transaction on each, insert 3 rows, then end transaction on each, but this may not achieve your ultimate goal, depending on what it is.
