title: Disable autocommit in SQL Developer when using MySQL
body: <p>I'd like to connect to a MySQL server with Oracle SQL Developer, but with autocommit disabled. By default, all MySQL connections have autocommit enabled, which is rather odd.</p>
  
  <p>The global setting in SQL Developer is unchecked, and </p>
  
  <pre><code>set autocommit=0;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>results in the error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>set autocommit script command forced off, as connection level autocommit is on.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In the connection's settings are no other options besides hostname, port and a drop down box for database selection.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using SQL Developer 3.2.10 with latest JDBC connector, 5.1.</p>
