Hi,

Some minor comments.

+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Autocommit cannot be set on inside a transaction, the ongoing
+ transaction has to be ended by entering <command>COMMIT</> or
+ <command>ROLLBACK</> before setting autocommit on.
+ </para>
+ </note>

I guess: "cannot be set *to* on" and likewise for "setting autocommit on"

The error message further in the patch spells it correctly:

+ psql_error("\\%s: Cannot set %s to %s inside a transaction, ...

Also (maybe): s/Autocommit/AUTOCOMMIT/g

Thanks,
Amit
