Are you sure you meant it like that? I already have BEGIN/COMMIT inside a function and it works perfectly. If it did not, then it would be impossible to use BEGIN/COMMIT in any language handler, since every call to a language handler is a call to a function. Did you mean 'inside a nested function'? Or something else?
