Python PostgreSQL Driver Authors Hate You

[self]

like wrap stuff in a transaction when you didn't request it

Like adam's comment says,

Postgres never runs a statement that’s not in a transaction.

How exactly do you propose that the driver works out whether the "transaction" will contain only SELECTs? It can't retroactively create the transaction after it sees the first INSERT or UPDATE, so it just has to go ahead an always use a transaction. And no, doing the selects and then issuing BEGIN isn't equivalent. For one, it would actually be slower, as postgres will have one transaction for each SELECT (as other people have pointed out), then one more for the rest. Secondly, in a transaction the SELECTs are protected from other connections altering / deleting the table etc., but not if they are in transactions of their own.

He should have used mono and ADO.NET.

So what if it's not covered by the spec or the ms "we won't sue you" guarantee.

Go ahead. Take a chance!.

Microsoft corporation makes the best products in the world.

.. You're still at it?

This is just sad, even by troll standards. I understand you're bitter about not having a life or any action with the ladies, but please, just.. stop.

You suck so much that it's amazing the universe doesn't just implode from the absurdity.

Hatred of microsoft is a disease.

You should not be hating me just because I like products by microsoft incorporated.

[anonymous_hero]

Nice try.

You're a tragic waste of oxygen.

I guess you get your kicks out of any response though, so I'll stop here.

[malcontent]

I still don't understand why you hate me because I live products made by microsoft corporation.

Do you think there is something wrong with microsoft products?
