So if `listStorageDescriptorsWithCD()` is never called from non-transactional methods then adding `openTransaction()` and `commitTransaction()` is redundant. We wrap the calls into transactions if want to make sure to run the code in a transaction whenever it is called. Wrapping a read only query in a transaction does not really make sense. It is either good without a transaction, or it requires a transaction because of the wider context, and then it is the callers responsibility to handle the transaction open/close. **So you are right, we do not need the transaction for the select itself.** -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

This select count(1) statement does not > scale well in Postgres, and there is no index for CD_ID column in SDS table. > For a SDS table with with 1.5 million rows, select count(1) has average 700ms > without index, while in 10-20ms with index.
