Autocommit to off

Hello.

I have installed postgres 7.4, and I see that it's not possible to do
"alter database ... set autocommit = off"

In the documentation, I found:

Note: The autocommit-on mode is PostgreSQL's traditional behavior, but
autocommit-off is closer to the SQL spec. If you prefer autocommit-off,
you may wish to set it in your .psqlrc file.
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/app-psql.html)

My questions are:

- Where I must look for the file .psqlrc? I must create it in a special
directory?
- What format must have this file?
- If I set this file, Do the applications (including ecpg) connect to
the database with autocommit = off????

Thanks for your responses.

Hello, I have 2 questions regarding InnoDB tables: 1. In the MySQL manual, it states that "MySQL begins each client connection with autocommit mode enabled by default. When autocommit is enabled, MySQL does a commit after each SQL statement if that statement did not return an error." Does using BEGIN override this behavior? In other words, with

Below is what I got by using MySQL's --log startup option.

Hi all, I've got MySQL 4.1.3 installed on RH 7.3... everything's fine so far except for getting the init_connect string to work. I followed the instructions on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Server_system_variables.html and added the below line to my '/etc/my.cnf' file under : init_connect='SET AUTOCOMMIT=0'

Hi, Please see the history below... Does AUTOCOMMIT as used here functionally replace VACUUM ANALYZE? If I turn on AUTOCOMMIT is every transaction commited as it is executed? If this is the case the query will take about twice as long... I have actually tested this scenario.

Hi, thanks for the new great version! Only one small problem, how can I disable autocommit in Postgres 7.4 in libpgtcl and psql? I found something about .psqlrc but how is the syntax and how can I set it for libpgtcl? BTW, SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON still gives no error, only SET AUTOCOMMIT TO OFF

I'm looking to get a little more performance out of my database, and saw in the docs a section about disabling autocommit by using the BEGIN and COMMIT keywords. My problem is this: I enforce unique rows for all data, and occasionally there is an error where I try to insert a duplicate entry. I expect to see these duplicate entries and depend on the DB to enforce the row uniqueness. When I just run the insert statements without the...

With the advent of postgres v8, would it be possible to change the default behaviour of psql from AUTOCOMMIT=ON to AUTOCOMMIT=OFF ? Although this might break backward compatibility, it might be acceptable on the basis that v8 is such a major release. Also adding a new command line parameter to control the AUTOCOMMIT setting for those users that will experience broken scripts executed (especially using the -c command) might help ease...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
