One option that I seem to be missing is the sequnce generator, like if I wanted a running number for each of the transactions, and I did not want any number to be lost if a transaction rolls back, I would want an automated mechanism for that. I would also want SQL to enforce good design decisions like enforcing acquiring locks in a particular order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
