Be careful when running scripts, however..  Any invocation of psql will
read you .psqlrc and if you've got ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK set there then
psql -f blah ; will pick up on that and you'll end up running every
command in the script (including the commit at the end...), even if some
of the commands in it failed.

So, if you put it in your .psqlrc, be VERY sure that you UN-set it on
the command-line whenever running SQL scripts which *should* rollback on
failures..

        Thanks,

                Stephen
