Hello. Should all the examples on this page be inside a `transaction { }` block? <https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki/DSL>

Short answer: *yes*.  Long answer: there has to be a transaction in context somehow.  If your caller started the transaction, you don't have to wrap your code in yet another transaction.  You're good as long as you're within a transaction block somewhere up the stack.

Turns out it is happening automagically on this project because it’s using Spring Boot, which wires things up automagically (via `exposed-spring-boot-starter`) and Spring’s `@Transactional`  annotation.
