+ * Transaction can be in one of two states: active or terminated.
+ * The way to receive an active LMDBAL::WriteTransaction is to call LMDBAL::Base::beginTransaction.
+ * You can use LMDBAL::WriteTransaction for everything instead of LMDBAL::Transaction
+ *
+ * Active transactions become terminated upon the call of
+ * LMDBAL::WriteTransaction::abort or LMDBAL::WriteTransaction::commit.
+ * Calling LMDBAL::Transaction::terminate on LMDBAL::WriteTransaction
+ * is exactly the same as calling LMDBAL::WriteTransaction::abort.
+ *
+ * Active transactions automaticaly terminate themselves upon destruction.
+ * <b>For LMDBAL::WriteTransaction default behaviour upon destruction is to abort.</b>
+ *
+ * You <b>CAN NOT</b> use inactive transactions for any query.
