Yes.

The default transaction functions in transaction.commit/abort/... work 
with a transaction manager that selects the active transaction based on 
the thread from which it is called.

Whenever you open a connection using DB.open() you can pass in a 
different transaction manager and thus get different transactions with 
as many databases as you like.
