Are people actually using database transactions to build chat rooms?

This is not an efficient use of system resources. mSQL is not a general
purpose IPC mechanism, rather it is a database server. It is utterly
unsuited for this purpose.

There is, on the other hand, a great deal of freely available source code
which does efficiently do what you are trying to do, among which are IRC and
the DikuMud.
