Actually rollback is often used without breaking the connection, in
the case of data conflicts in transaction processing systems. The
"reason" for rollback retaining is to allow Delphi clients to undo
work after a data conflict without losing all their context - in
Delphi, when there is no active cursor, there is no data.
