This is exactly what is happening. You are being warned (not a failure)
that you are issuing BEGIN after the driver has issued BEGIN. The ODBC
driver provides the user the option to auto commit or not but fundamentally
in ODBC you are always in a transaction. The lack of warnings by other
drivers is the probable reason you haven't noticed your redundancy until
now.
