-UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS:
- Rather than simply reading the values for each
- object, to meet CommonSQL spec need to generate a single
- query to read values for all objects, up to max-len count.
-
->>>>>>> .r9364
-COMMIT,ROLLBACK,START-TRANSACTION: 
- When COMMIT or ROLLBACK are called outside of WITH-TRANSACTION, an sql 
- transaction must be explicitly started first with START-TRANSACTION. 
+CLSQL starts with in transaction AUTOCOMMIT mode. To begin a transaction,
+START-TRANSACTION has to be called.
