Sorry, but 'transactionless' I mean no BEGIN/END ... from what I've been
gathering from Tim, his code goes something like:

do query 1
do query 2
if query 2 fails "oops"

vs

do query 1
do query 2
if query 2 fails, abort and auto-rollback query 1

Then again, Tim might be being even more simple then that:

do query 1
exit
