Of course you always have to use some API, I just wanted to say
that you do not have to use specialized transaction oriented API calls
(like isc_start_transaction, isc_commit_transaction), but you can use
general API calls for executing DSQL commands.

E.g. you can start transaction by passing "SET TRANSACTION" command
to isc_dsql_execute_immediate() call.
