If we do this, could we get rid of the messy autocommit GUC option and handle autocommit in the client? Before sending a command, the client could check the transaction status and automatically choose to start a new transaction. That way we could get rid of the current mess that every client needs to send a SET autocommit command before it can safely do anything. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
