This might be a wish list or add feature. Could we add one simple switch to psql (the client front end or the library) --noautocommit?
This will require you to type commit at the end of a query. Most of the time I would be using
psql to do simple stuff. Some times I need to update databases. I kind get used to the autocommit.
When forgot to type BEGIN
I some times destroy the content of certain table when updating tables. the I have go for the backup.


Is my request reasonable or I have to cultivate a good habit?
