It still disturbs me that you have to use a non-standard table type to
support transactions, plus the hijinks that will occur when you attempt to
perform a transaction that involves changes to transactional and
non-transactional tables...

"If you do a ROLLBACK when you have updated a non-transactional table you
will get an error (ER_WARNING_NOT_COMPLETE_ROLLBACK) as a warning. All
transactional safe tables will be restored but any non-transactional table
will not change."
