Primarily because existing client-side libraries issue lots of SETs while starting a connection. We may just have to say "those guys are broken if you turn off autocommit in postgresql.conf", but I am looking for a way around it. If SET didn't start a transaction then they wouldn't be broken... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
