+START TRANSACTION [ <em class="replaceable"><code>transaction_mode</code></em> [, ...] ]

+   This command begins a new transaction block. If the isolation level,
+   read/write mode, or deferrable mode is specified, the new transaction has those
+   characteristics, as if <a class="link" href="sql-set-transaction.html" title="SET TRANSACTION"><code class="command">SET TRANSACTION</code></a> was executed. This is the same
+   as the <a class="link" href="sql-begin.html" title="BEGIN"><code class="command">BEGIN</code></a> command.
+  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.180.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><p>
+   Refer to <a class="xref" href="sql-set-transaction.html" title="SET TRANSACTION"><span class="refentrytitle">SET TRANSACTION</span></a> for information on the meaning
+   of the parameters to this statement.
+  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.180.7"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
+   In the standard, it is not necessary to issue <code class="command">START TRANSACTION</code>
+   to start a transaction block: any SQL command implicitly begins a block.
+   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>'s behavior can be seen as implicitly
+   issuing a <code class="command">COMMIT</code> after each command that does not
+   follow <code class="command">START TRANSACTION</code> (or <code class="command">BEGIN</code>),
+   and it is therefore often called <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">autocommit</span>”</span>.
+   Other relational database systems might offer an autocommit feature
+   as a convenience.
+  </p><p>
+   The <code class="literal">DEFERRABLE</code>
+   <em class="replaceable"><code>transaction_mode</code></em>
+   is a <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> language extension.
+  </p><p>
+   The SQL standard requires commas between successive <em class="replaceable"><code>transaction_modes</code></em>, but for historical
+   reasons <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> allows the commas to be
+   omitted.
+  </p><p>
+   See also the compatibility section of <a class="xref" href="sql-set-transaction.html" title="SET TRANSACTION"><span class="refentrytitle">SET TRANSACTION</span></a>.
