Someone else probably has up to date information. I recall that if an
error happens within a BEGIN/END block, all other commands are
rejected until an END (or ABORT?) is executed. The assumption is that
if something fails within a transaction you want to rollback
everything else within that transaction, and the transaction isn't
over until you explicitly complete it.
