"""
Decorator which executes the decorated function inside a transaction with isolation level set to READ COMMITTED.
If the function returns a response the transaction is committed and if the function raises an exception the
transaction is rolled back.
Raises TransactionManagementError if there are already more than 1 level of transactions open.
Note: This only works on MySQL.
