I'm not sure what you mean here. Transactions are only supported by
PostgreSQL and Oracle as well as by one MySQL table type. All we could
do is add wrapper functions for BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK that do
nothing if the database engine does not support transactions. I use
such a wrapper in one of my projects. I could move that code into
libdbi.

Foreign keys are generated during table creation which you do with
standard SQL queries. libdbi does not need any specific support for
this, I suppose.

Markus
