Thread: AW: [HACKERS] Begin statement again

Oracle, like DB/2 can' t set it to on. The autocommit ***on***  in ORA ODBC is a trick.
It simply silently adds commit once in a while (after every statement).
But please to make the vokabulary easy don't refer to begin, but to 'begin work'
in this context. 'begin' will mean begin a statement block, not a transaction block.

I know. The problem we were talking about was the automatic beginning of a
transaction. No need to say "begin work" it just starts.

I know that, too. But currently in postgresql begin means the same as begin
work. Correct me if I'm wrong.
