Transaction groups for PostGIS editing
When working with data stored in a database, editing this data can sometimes lead to database errors or database instability. This functionality comes in-handy to help in this situation by enabling transaction on data.If editing begins on data, transaction is initialized for all layers. This is helpful during data editing and also when performing commit actions where all layers are saved for the changes and if a rollback is conducted, its done for all the layers.
