There is no distinction between exceptions.
A statement that throws an error is not performed (including all
its triggered events) period.
There are sqlstates, that are only warnings, in which case the statement
is performed.
In this sense a commit is not partial. The commit should commit
all statements that were not in error.
All other DB's behave in this way.
