Thread: Time to remove dummy autocommit GUC?
There's a thread over in pgsql-admin http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1317404836.812502.1415174912912.JavaMail.yahoo@jws11120.mail.ir2.yahoo.com suggesting that the server-side autocommit GUC causes more confusion than it's worth, because newbies think it should reflect the state of client-side autocommit behavior. We left that variable in there back in 7.4, on backward-compatibility grounds that were a bit debatable even then. ISTM that by now we could just flat-out remove it. Surely no client-side code is still looking at it. Thoughts, objections? regards, tom lane
