Think about which entity determines what setting is required for
autocommit.  It's not the database administrator, it's not the database
end user, it's not some tuning guy, it's not the binding library --
it's the particular client application.  Because only the client
application knows how it will issue SQL commands and what autocommit
mode it expects for proper functioning.  Therefore, there is never a
legitimate reason to control this setting anywhere else.

In JDBC there is a method on the connection that controls this setting,
and the default setting is fixed in the spec (not determined by
external configuration).  In ECPG, autocommit is off.  Those are the
only interfaces I know that have sufficient standardization in this
area.  The Perl way you cite seems reasonable as well.
