Everything _is_ a transaction - the BEGIN ... COMMIT is implied, if you
don't wrap your SQL statements in BEGIN ... COMMIT.
Compare:
dominic=# INSERT INTO pages ( page_from, page_to, page_data ) VALUES ( 'Dominic', '555-1212', 'This is a test page');
INSERT 945129 1
[ This was one transaction ]
dominic=# SELECT count(*) FROM pages;
count
-------
1
(1 row)
[ This was the second transaction ]
... for a total of two transactions, as opposed to:
dominic=# BEGIN;
BEGIN
dominic=# INSERT INTO pages ( page_from, page_to, page_data ) VALUES ( 'Dominic', '555-1212', 'Test page number two.'
);
INSERT 945130 1
dominic=# SELECT count(*) FROM pages;
count
-------
2
(1 row)
dominic=# COMMIT;
COMMIT
[ This was just _one_ transaction ]
