You can't issue BEGIN/COMMIT from within a function because that would represent destroying the transaction that supports your execution of the function. AFAICT you are worried about whether several different updates issued by your function will all be committed atomically. They will be; you don't need to, and indeed can't, do anything to adjust that. If there was some other issue you had, you need to be more specific... regards, tom lane
