[DB-SIG] Transaction start

[Gerhard Häring]

The DB-API Connection object has commit and rollback methods, but it
lacks a begin method.

Not considering the implementation of an autocommit feature, does this
mean that the DB-API module must implicitely start, and possibly roll
back transactions at certain points?

I guess a cursor.execute must start a new transaction, where else must a
transaction be started? Could anybody please clarify this?

TIA,

Gerhard
