If you intend to do transactions that may succeed afterwards, you will 
need to explicitly RollbackTransaction() to make drivers happy about the 
balancing of operations. This is similar to the expected use of BEGIN / 
COMMIT / ROLLBACK by SQL engines (at least just tried with PostgreSQL 
which requires an explicit ROLLBACK after a failure in a transaction to 
recover from it)
