It's not clear what the use case is. Given the original problem was excised from the email it's not clear what they're trying to solve. Transactions can "nest", sort of. > My feeling is that this is a false problem, caused by some interbase/firebird > or delphi habits .

I beleive oracle can have independant subtransactions. That's something different from several concurrent transaction though. I'm not oracle expert though.
