FWFW,
Oracle's COMMIT syntax has an optional COMMENT specifier which is
used for documenting a distributed transaction. In-doubt
transactions can then be manually committed or aborted by
referencing the transaction associated with the comment. Example:
COMMIT WORK COMMENT 'A complex distributed Tx';
Perhaps there is some common ground between the 2PC implementation
and PITR?
