^^^^^^^^^
AFAIK, MS Access have no transactions inside it,
Informix (at least old versions I worked with) always
perform create,drop, alter object outside transaction
but IMHO it's not right behavior.

I believe postgres's behavior more meaningful,
but IMHO, this example is quite far from real life.
