Are you referring to save points as the "pretend to offer this"? If so, why wouldn't they work? If not, what are you referring to?

Literally:

    BEGIN TRAN
    BEGIN TRAN
    COMMIT TRAN
    ROLLBACK TRAN

Yes, but what part about that is pretend? Is there a db that doesn't do the right thing and roll back the outer transaction? If so, can you name it?
