While my experience with other RDBMS is not that great I believe the
"limitation" belongs to the entire category and is probably a direct (or
indirect) result of the SQL standard.

Executing SQL commands is a linear process. While some degree of command
execution parallelism is possible the user transaction itself is serial -
each command must end before the next command begins. Thus the whole
premise of the parent/child setup is flawed. If you try to have two child
threads working within a single parent transaction then by definition they
are going to be interfering with each other.

From the linked reference documentation:

"Multiple threads are permitted to share a Connection, Statement, or
ResultSet. However, the application programmer must ensure that one thread
does not affect the behavior of the others."
