Does it mean that I have to commit after each select statement?

Here what the manual says:

------------
Description

COMMIT commits the current transaction. All changes made by the transaction
become visible to others and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs.
-----------

Does select produces some changes?

    Tigran.
