Actually, no matter what JDBC is doing, all of that will happen within a
single transaction on the database (unless you're using something like
dblink from within the triggers). So even if you were issuing insert
statements with autocommit on, you'd see at most one transaction per
insert.
The triggers might use subtransactions. You get implicit subtransactions
if have an EXCEPTION clause in a plpgsql function. I'm not sure if
there's other things that do that as well.
