No, this is correct. However, there are some problems in the wording.
autocommit means "use the default transactions from PGSQL" while
auto-transaction mode means to "start a new transaction after each commit".
The latter is the way Oracle handles this, you just have to issue commits
but no begin trans. The first of course is the very same as working with
pgsql.
This needs some clearer wording urgently. I haven't checked Bruce changes so
far.
