That of course is true.

That unfortunately is not. It's just the opposite way. ecpg per default uses
the Oracle way and issues a BEGIN after each commit automatically. Thus you
only have to specify COMMIT every now and then to end the transaction. If
you use "-t" or SET AUTOCOMMIT ON, then you run in the normal PostgreSQL
environment and get each command inside its own transaction. To manually
start and end transactions you have to use "-t" resp. EXEC SQL SET AUTOCOMMIT ON
and then issue a BEGIN.
