There seems to be some confusion about 'multi-db'. Within a single MySQL instance, assuming that all your tables are a transactional type (InnoDB isn't the only one), you don't have to do anything special to cross database boundaries. XA is required if you plan to spread your transactions out across multiple database instances.
