I handle error trapping on the commit statement. If it throws an
exception, then I do something about it.
Rollbacks in practice over the last few years have almost always been
due to the loss of the ability to change database records (network
issues, database server issues), so logging has to occur via other
methods (inform the end-user if it's interactive, send emails, write
errors to a log file on the local host). Attempting to write a second
database record at this point normally fails.
