Actually this is a common missconception with the JDBC spec. I don't know
why they put the transaction stuff at the Connection level, but it means
that any JDBC connection can only have one transaction.
Perhaps something along those lines, or:
You cannot use different threads while using transactions. If your
application does a lot of queries but only a few updates, try to have the
updates done in their own Connections, and use the Connection pool for the
queries.
