If you're not intending to write anything to the database you could
try do a rollback instead of commit.

I'm not familiar with your system, but if you are getting

Maybe you can do a rollback, begin, followed by your sql statements
then rollback again.

You would get warnings for a rollback followed by rollback, but they
might not be fatal (not sure about your config).

There might be a problem with one of the SQL queries and that's why
it cannot be committed.

Alternatively the program logic might be bypassing a COMMIT. A BEGIN
followed by a BEGIN would cause an "already in transaction" error
which would cause the "transaction is aborted" problem.
