Default Transaction Mode

[Terry Hampton]

Is it possible to configure Postgres,
or to start PG daemons so that it
operates in a transaction mode by default ?

We do a lot of work at the PG prompt, and I'd
like to have one additional "safety net" - to manual
commit all SQL's. Sure - I can "begin work" etc.
but I'd like that to be automatic.

Thanks,
Terry

If you are working with psql type set autocommit to false if using
version 7.3 or \unset AUTOCOMMIT for version 7.4. You can put those
commands in your .psqlrc file and psql will read it each time it's
invoked. See psql(1) for details.
