Обсуждение: Commit Transaction Command

The debug logs seem a little confusing.   On sending a query something like
this will show up:

DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand
LOG: query: select * from blah;
DEBUG: ProcessQuery
DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand

This is with auto commit off.  My first reaction on seeing this was the auto
commit setting must not work.  Then I noticed that most things,  even "begin"
and "commit" commands entered via the query interface in psql were wrapped
with the same "DEBUG" output.  And finally I did some testing and found that
transactions did in fact work correctly.

I am hoping that someone can enlighten me as to what this DEBUG output
actually indicates.

Running version 7.3.5.

Thanks,

Jim Wilson

    If you don't explicitly BEGIN, the interface (psql) will wrap every of
your commands in a transaction.

The CommitTransactionCommand function actually means "stop processing
the command we just received".  If said command was a COMMIT or
ROLLBACK, then it will also commit the transaction (resp. abort it).  If
it wasn't, then the transaction will be kept open.  So you have nothing
to worry about, short of a loglevel set up a little too high ;-)
