Re: How different is AWS-RDS postgres?

Found it.  Though there are indeed separate transactions for the bulk 
copy  v. target update, I had missed that there is an over-arching 
transaction in play and of course when things go south, /all/ things go 
south.

I get away with this, for now by bumping the tomcat idle time to an 
hour, which is serious overkill.
