Whether you have autocommit on or off, you can *always* control things explicitly. And you can certainly run "multi-statement transactions" in autocommit on -- in fact, it's what most people do since it's the default configuration of the system (and I don't see why multi-table would even be relevant).Autocommit on/off only controls what happens when you *don't* control things explicitly.
I know that we can control things explicitly with "autocommit on". But we would need to add "BEGIN" statements to the code which is an even bigger change than adding COMMITs. We considered it and found that the development cost is too high.
It seems I was not clear enough. I do not complain. I have been a PG fan since 2000 when I worked with it for the first time. I just wanted to understand it deeper and, fortunately, find a work around that would simplify our current development.
Thanks to all.
