	I've worked with commit/rollback features on databases since my IBM
mainframe days (circa 1975).  They aren't all that easy to control when you
allow the database to do it for you.  For example, the rollback often
doesn't work as smoothly as advertised, although I understand that the
process is much improved in current versions of Oracle and other modern
databases.

	I've seen too many databases, especially inventory and accounts
payable apps, hopelessly corrupted because the rollbacks didn't work
correctly. 

	Personally, I would rather write the commit/rollback functionality
into my apps, so that I have complete control over the process.
