How to check if autocommit is on or not postgres' psql

Question

I am using postgres 9.5. How can I check if auto commit is on or off? I tried SHOW AUTOCOMMIT where I got ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter \"autoco

Answer 1

One quick and dirty way is to just execute commit; and look for the below message to infer auto-commit is on or not.

Error report - SQL Error: Cannot commit when autoCommit is enabled.

Note: I used SQL developer so not sure about other IDEs
