ActiveRecords question

Rails

I need to turn off and on the autocommit in MySql is there a method in
active records that allows me to do this?
or
is there a method which allows me to type in the pure mysql code
“set autocommit=0”

Thanks.

Model.connection.execute( ‘SET AUTOCOMMIT=0’ )

or

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute( ‘SET AUTOCOMMIT=0’ )

We develop, watch us RoR, in numbers too big to ignore.

this does not work for postgres. I get:

ERROR: SET AUTOCOMMIT TO OFF is no longer supported

Has anyone managed to find the correct syntax?

I’ve also tried

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction

to set autocommit off at the topmost level, but it does not prevent
COMMIT statement to be issued on save().
