        AutoCommit has nothing to do with transactions.         All it is 
designed  
to do is control the additional commit() call that some backends  
require after data is changed.

        If you are using transactions under programmatic control, then there  
is no reason whatsoever that you would want this behavior, and so you  
would set AutoCommit to True to tell Dabo not to add the additional  
commit() call. I realize that this may not be the optimum name, which  
is why I took the time to explain the derivation of the behavior and  
how it came to be a property, and why I said that I think that a  
discussion of a better name would be welcome.
