Sure, there is no "autocommit" server-side setting.

You meant the client-side setting: psql> \set AUTOCOMMIT off

Re: BUG #14772: psql autocommit does not work

testdb=# \set autocommit off;
testdb=# insert into tabtest(id, texte) values (3,'test');
INSERT 0 1
testdb=# commit;
ATTENTION: aucune transaction en cours
COMMIT

OK I found : \set AUTOCOMMIT false
(without any semicolumn)

Hello Alain,

testdb=# \set autocommit off;

Hmmm.

The special variable name is "AUTOCOMMIT", and you are creating an
unrelated "autocommit" lower case variable instead. Client-side variable
names are case sensitive. Maybe that was not a good idea, especially given
than SQL is case insensitive, but it is probably too late to change
that...

With the right name you would get a clear error message.

psql> \set AUTOCOMMIT off;
unrecognized value "off;" for "AUTOCOMMIT": boolean expected

I'm not sure what to do. Maybe generate a warning if a special variable
name is used uncapitalized...

OK I found : \set AUTOCOMMIT false
(without any semicolumn)

Yep.

Re: BUG #14772: psql autocommit does not work

also, the semicolumn, needed for some statementds (sql) but not all.

Yes, it is pretty strange.

The backslash command are outside of SQL and finished on the line. You can
use them anywhere:

psql> SELECT
\set x 2
1
\set y 3
;
# 1
psql> \echo :x :y
# 2 3

Basically SQL & backslash commands are unrelated. The SQL is sent to the
server, the backslash is executed on the client...
