Because this is how it works with other embedded SQL systems too. I have
done quite some work with Oracle, and it always has the transaction open.
Keep in mind that there is no disconnect command. Instead you go out by
issuing a commit.

I tend to agree. But all embedded SQL programs I've seen so far only use
commit. I never saw one that issues a begin work since I stopped using
Ingres.
