Correct. However, you need to make sure that all your queries use the same connection. In order to do that you need a transaction. (There is some implicit behavior in Adobe's CFML engine that makes all queries in a single request use the same connection, but in for instance the CFML engine from NewAtlanta every query in a request can use a different connection.)
