[4.0EA2]Is there a way to simply pass through SQL commands?

Question

Hello out there,
I wonder if there is a way to pass through some commands without SQL Developer trying to parse or otherwise process them.
In 3.2 I could do something like this when connected to a MySQL database:
/*sqldev:stmt*/begin;
delete from test where some_condition=1;
/*sqldev:stmt*/rollback;
Now I get the following error:
SELECT command denied to user 'tsn'@'pc259.vu2k.vertriebsunion.de' for table 'all_tab_cols'
It seems that SQL Developer tries do do some magic that does not work on non-Oracle databases.
So is there some magic comment like /*sqldev:stmt*/ that just passes through the command without further parsing?
The best solution would be SQL Developer supporting transactions on MySQL though...
I know, I posted a similar question some time ago for 4EA1, but did not get an answer for that.

Hi Dhalek,
Just tried out a small example and it works ok in SQL Dev 4
drop table t1;
create table t1 (col1 int);
insert into t1 values (1);
insert into t1 values (2);
insert into t1 values (3);
select * from t1;
/*sqldev:stmt*/BEGIN;
DELETE FROM t1;
SELECT * FROM t1;
/*sqldev:stmt*/ROLLBACK;
SELECT * FROM t1;
---- RESULT ----
table T1 dropped.
table T1 created.
1 rows inserted.
1 rows inserted.
1 rows inserted.
col1      
1         
2         
3         
/*sqldev:stmt*/BEGIN
3 rows deleted.
col1      
/*sqldev:stmt*/ROLLBACK
col1      
1         
2         
3
