  The problem is: even though you don't see the http req/resp
mechanism from your Seaside app, it still is there. And the user
may decide at any point to do something unexpected, like hitting
the back button, abandoning a session. So when your database
transaction spans multiple web pages and the user breaks out of
your planned path... *boom* you end up with left open transactions,
transaction starts in already open transactions and whatnot...

  I asked something similar some time ago, and the general consensus
was to do all database accesses in a single open transaction, do stuff,
close transaction manner.
