The Release Notes on 7.4 state Observe the following incompatibilities:
The server-side autocommit setting was removed and reimplemented in client applications and languages. Server-side autocommit was causing too many problems with languages and applications that wanted to control their own autocommit behavior, so autocommit was removed from the server and added to individual client APIs as appropriate. So I tried set autocommit to off after connecting to my database and expected a session-wide autocommit off. It failed saying SET AUTOCOMMIT TO OFF is no longer supported Could someone please enlighten me how this first sentence should be understood: The server-side autocommit setting was removed and reimplemented in client applications and languages.
