Marina,
Given that Native Queries are generally going to be used for special cases having them part of the transaction is probably best although it will sacrifice efficiency for users who are doing simple selects. We should not rollback the changes though (unless you are talking about the UR1 branch?) but for now should have all Native Queries "begin an early transaction" in the UnitOfWork as the ModifyAllQuery does. In the future we can add a hint to allow users to have native queries that can read outside of the transaction.

Gordon,
As the changes to use non-tx connections broke existing functionality,
we can't require users to add hints to get it back. It's possible
though to add hints to request new functionality.
As this bug is a show-stopper for UR1 release, can we rollback the
original changes?
thanks,

I think we should have an option to force the query into the transaction that can be initiated by the user and we should attempt to detect pessimistic lock clauses.
