It has nothing to do with the size of the SP. TransactionIsActive is still
true because the transaction is still active (pending). The transaction
will not end until you either commit it or roll it back.

Yes, in the sense that, if you call Commit on the transaction and no errors
are returned, then the transaction succeeded and all work will be made
permanent. Until you do, you have an unresolved transaction. Other
transactions cannot see the effects of the work because it is still pending.

StoredProcForSelect tells IBO that you are expecting a dataset to be
returned. StoreProcHasDML says that the proc is going to perform an
insert, update or delete operation. But neither of them causes the
transaction to finish. Only Commit or Rollback can do that.
