Bruce Momjian 99a3396822 ecpg.sgml manual page updated to ON.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you run 'ecpg --help' you get the following:

          -t   turn on autocommit of transactions

amongst the other options... Shouldn't this be OFF as per the
documentation?

Best regards, Lee.
