This can already be done with scripts, and to be honest I think that’s where this functionality belongs.

A DB-to-DB transaction group would certainly be a possibility, and has been requested for some time. However, there are a number of ways to do with, with scripting, or some very good DB synchronization tools (sorry, I don’t have a name off the top of my head), so this just hasn’t be a high priority. But still, something like this could show up in the the next sqlbridge update.

thanks colby,  
I have been looking into a synchrinization tool, but cant find one that works with mysql and microsoft SQL express. I suppose it could be done with scripting, but my time is better spent learning other things.

thanks anyway
