Nested Transactions: This required in order to roll back transactions, in case 
of any problem in between.. say for example operation 'save', where lot of 
sub records transactions have to be saved before saving the main record 
transaction..
 
SDB: SDB as we are using IBM DB2 database as a storage and SDB supports this 
database, but not TDB..
 
One more thing just out of curiosity: What is the abbreviation of SDB and 
TDB?:-)

Why do you want to do this?

For all practical purposes it is unused.  It was to record the fact it 
might be a known type (e.g. xsd:integer) but all info is in the datatype.

Note that SDB uses a fixed schema for storing RDF and app does not 
access the database directly but through the Jena API.

TDB is faster and scales better.
