Actually, we do have maybe one or 2 queries that use ROLLBACK, however
ROLLBACK happens at the end of a "code block" so the question is
probably moot.

I'll give you the exact case where I'm worried:

We have a table of customers, and each customer can have multiple
memberships (which are stored in the memberships table). We want our
deleteMembership(int membershipID) method to remove the membership, then
check to see if there are no more memberships left for the corresponding
customer, and if there are none, delete the corresponding customer as well.
