* The maximum number of bound parameters for statements executed on this

* need to chunk them into multiple statements. See `PlacesUtils.chunkArray`
* and its callers in Places for examples of how to do this, or read on for
* an overview.
*
* Keep in mind that the variable limit is for the _total_ number of
* parameters, including ones bound by name (using the `:VVV`, `@VVV`, or
* `?VVV` syntax) and index (`?` and `?NNN`).
*
* This means, when chunking:
*
* - If you're binding 1 param per 1 value per chunk (for example, if you
* have a list of GUIDs and a clause like `WHERE guid IN (?, ?, ?, ...)`,
* your chunk length is just `variableLimit`.
* - If you're binding 1 param per 1 value per chunk, but using that
* param in multiple positions in the query (for example, `WHERE url_hash
* IN (hash(?1), hash(?2), ...) AND url IN (?1, ?2, ...)`), you can use the
* `?NNN` syntax with a chunk length of `variableLimit`.
* - If you're binding N params per 1 value per chunk (for example, if you
* have a list of items with GUIDs and parent GUIDs, and you want to bind
* both), your chunk length is `variableLimit / N`, since you're binding
* two params for each element.
* - If you're binding K params per L values per chunk, plus M fixed ones
* (for example, `WHERE parentGuid = :parentGuid AND guid IN (?, ?, ...)`),
* your chunk length is `variableLimit - M`, to ensure there's space for the
* fixed variables.
*
* If you bind more params than this limit, `create{Async}Statement` will
* fail with a "too many SQL variables" error.

* Returns true if a transaction is active on this connection.

* Note that this is true if a transaction is active on the connection,

*
* 1. Explicitly calling `beginTransaction` on a `mozIStorageConnection`.
* 2. Calling `executeSimpleSQL("BEGIN")` or

* 3. Executing an async statement, like
* `createAsyncStatement("BEGIN").executeAsync(...)`. This is what
* `Sqlite.jsm` does under the hood.
*
* Because of this, it's important *not* to use this attribute to decide
* whether to *commit* the active transaction, because the caller that opened
* it may not expect that. This is why both `mozStorageTransaction` and
* `Sqlite.jsm` use an internal variable (`mHasTransaction` for the former;
* `_hasInProgressTransaction` for the latter) to check if their transaction
* is already in progress, instead of just checking this attribute before
* committing. Otherwise, mozStorage might accidentally commit (or roll back!)
* a transaction started by `Sqlite.jsm`, and vice versa.
