its very possible. the developer thought he'd fixed all those and was
surprised they were recurring. they are coming from JDBC by default
starting a transaction on a simple SELECT. we don't 'commit' after
selects as this code was written for Oracle, where plain selects dont
have side effects like this. this is only a problem in Postgres. the
intent is to use connections with 'autocommit on' for pure read
threads.... however, this is a very large and complex code base, and
site specific code is added by field engineering, so sometimes stuff
slips in.
