+=== Nested Transactions [[nested-transactions]]
+
+Use `requires_new: true` if you want to avoid nested transactions unintentionally becoming part of the parent transaction.
+`joinable: false` is a private API and should not be used. If used, serious side effects may occur, such as `after_commit` not working properly.
