Firebird doesn't support embedded transactions (Firebird sysdba's like to
sleep at home!)

You can embed procedures inside other procedures, though, and return custom
exceptions to the caller procedure.

Coming in a future release (possibly 1.6) will be savepoints, another way
to condition whether a block of work inside a procedure will be carried
through or undone.
