[TYPO3-dev] Idea: add transaction support to t3lib_db

What is exactly the case when a transaction could not be used? I mean:

- MySQL has it
- MSSQL has it
- Oracle has it
- PostgreSQL has it

meaning all supported DBMS have support for transactions.

If this means upgrading database structure, seems to me it could be part 
of the upgrade wizard.

Of course this should be properly tested ;)
