Closing ResultSet objects has no effect on transactions. Closing
Connection objects does.

The PostgreSQL driver implements this behaviour: if autocommit is false,
changes in the current transaction are committed only when you call
Connection.commit() or Connection.setAutoCommit(). So closing the
connection does cause a rollback, since that connection is then dead and
can't be committed.
