I haven't used Sequoia, but I don't think you can use it as a general 
purpose transaction manager. It does take care of replicating updates to 
all the databases it controls, but AFAIK you can't use it to perform ad 
hoc distributed transactions across resource managers.

There is a lot of open source JTA (Java Transaction API) transaction 
manager implementations, though. JOTM and SimpleJTA to name a few. And 
all the J2EE application server implementations include a transaction 
manager as well.

I'm not aware of any open source non-Java transaction managers.
