It's going to happen within a program/script. It's just as easy to check 
the table supports the function you want as to try and it look for an 
error on the attempt - given that you are trying to roll back a 
transaction do you want MySQL to refuse the command or log the failure due 
to user error?

I accept that neither is ideal however the issue is really user error and 
there are limits on how effectively you can deal with that.

mysqldump. It works.
