A comment like "This method opens a separate database connection so as not to mess with the ongoing transaction" or some such would be rather helpful, though.

  Within the code I write, I can't think of a scenario where that wouldn't be obvious. But if it is indeed not obvious, then I agree that would be a helpful comment.

    I guess that was what I was trying to say. Make your code as obvious as possible, and use comments to explain what's not obvious. Although people have vastly different ideas of what is or isn't obvious.

    What's obvious now might not be obvious later or to another person.
