You can't be setting autocommit willy-nilly. What I was going to suggest is that we allow 'SET autocommit' only at the start of a transaction, and then have it take effect immediately. If you try autocommit when a transaction is already in progress from a previous statement, we throw an error. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
