> LanguageConnectionContext has these four methods (as well as other commit/rollback methods) to manage transactions and specifically nested transactions.
> void beginNestedTransaction(boolean readOnly) throws StandardException;
> void commitNestedTransaction() throws StandardException;
> TransactionController getTransactionCompile();
> TransactionController getTransactionExecute();
> getTransactionCompile() returns the same as getTransactionExecute() if not in a nested transaction.
> nested transactions started out as "compile time" transactions  but are now used at runtime, for example in permission lookup and identity columns(?),
> thus the name getTransactionCompile() can confuse readers.
> A cleaner api might be to just have a single getTransaction() method that returns the current transaction, which is main transaction (non-nested) except
> between calls to
>    beginNestedTransaction() 
>   commitNestedTransaction()
> I think that is the logic today, one one transaction is active, either the nested one of the main one.
