The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-set-transaction.html Description:
As an example let's take take "BEGIN" in the Synopsis : -------- Start Synopsis for BEGIN -------------------- BEGIN [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ transaction_mode [, ...] ] where transaction_mode is one of: ISOLATION LEVEL { SERIALIZABLE | REPEATABLE READ | READ COMMITTED | READ UNCOMMITTED } READ WRITE | READ ONLY [ NOT ] DEFERRABLE -------- End Synopsis for BEGIN -------------------- In this example the words to words "READ COMMITTED", "READ WRITE" should be bold since they are default values if I execute the statement "BEGIN;" see the example. By the way I started in "BEGIN" but here the defaults was not even present sow I went to "START TRANSACTION but still no indication on default values but finally in "SET TRANSACTION" There are default value for "ISOLATION LEVEL" but nothing on default value for "READ WRITE | READ ONLY" or "[ NOT ] DEFERRABLE".
