no, i don't think that'd stand a chance - if i have a big table and want to
do a updatequery on it and afterwards check if everything looks fine before
doing commit or rollback, that'd mean PMA would do a copy of my big table on
the heap for as long as it takes me to decide wether i like it? i doubt that
any ISP would like that behaviour.

but it is kind of sad, to see that here we seem to come to a point where
MySQL is offering a useful feature that users will not be able to use with
PMA - for usage of transactions i now installed the MySQL Controlcenter here
again ;-(
