Why can we not just require the user to verify if his BEGIN query failed or succeeded? Is that really too much to ask for? Also see what Robert wrote about proxies in between that keep track of the transaction state. Consider they see a BEGIN query that fails. How would they know if the session is now in an aborted transaction or not in a transaction at all?
