   It is not possible to run transaction control commands such
   as <code class="command">COMMIT</code> and <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code> through SPI
   functions such as <code class="function">SPI_execute</code>.  There are, however,
   separate interface functions that allow transaction control through SPI.
  </p><p>
   It is not generally safe and sensible to start and end transactions in
   arbitrary user-defined SQL-callable functions without taking into account
   the context in which they are called.  For example, a transaction boundary
   in the middle of a function that is part of a complex SQL expression that
   is part of some SQL command will probably result in obscure internal errors
   or crashes.  The interface functions presented here are primarily intended
   to be used by procedural language implementations to support transaction
   management in SQL-level procedures that are invoked by the <code class="command">CALL</code>
   command, taking the context of the <code class="command">CALL</code> invocation into
   account.  SPI-using procedures implemented in C can implement the same logic, but
   the details of that are beyond the scope of this documentation.
