 * @title: GdaXaTransaction
 * @stability: Stable
 * @see_also:
 *
 * The #GdaXaTransaction object acts as a distributed transaction manager: to make sure local transactions on several
 * connections (to possibly different databases and database types) either all succeed or all fail. For more information,
 * see the X/Open CAE document Distributed Transaction Processing: The XA Specification. 
 * This document is published by The Open Group and available at 
 * <ulink url="http://www.opengroup.org/public/pubs/catalog/c193.htm">http://www.opengroup.org/public/pubs/catalog/c193.htm</ulink>.
 *
 * The two phases commit protocol is implemented during the execution of a distributed transaction: modifications
 * made on any connection are first <emphasis>prepared</emphasis> (which means that they are store in the database), and
 * if that phase succeeded for all the involved connections, then the <emphasis>commit</emphasis> phase is executed
 * (where all the data previously stored during the <emphasis>prepare</emphasis> phase are actually committed).
 * That second phase may actually fail, but the distributed transaction will still be considered as successfull
 * as the data stored during the <emphasis>prepare</emphasis> phase can be committed afterwards.
 *
 * A distributed transaction involves the following steps:
 * <orderedlist>
 *   <listitem><para>Create a #GdaXaTransaction object</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Register the connections which will be part of the distributed transaction with that object
 *	using gda_xa_transaction_register_connection()</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Beging the distributed transaction using gda_xa_transaction_begin()</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Work individually on each connection as normally (make modifications)</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Commit the distributed transaction using gda_xa_transaction_commit()</para></listitem>
 *   <listitem><para>Discard the #GdaXaTransaction object using g_object_unref()</para></listitem>
 * </orderedlist>
