As long as we're tweaking syntax to agree with the spec ...
I notice that both SQL99 and SQL2003 require commas between the options
for START TRANSACTION and SET TRANSACTION, whereas our current grammar
has no commas. I propose that we fix the grammar to allow optional
commas there, to support the standard syntax without breaking existing
apps.
Unless someone objects, I'll add this to Oliver's patch and commit.
