Re: No commit nor Rollback button
DataGrip has transaction control in the tool menu. It is pretty handy to have that toggle at hand.
Yes, I know how to write a manual transaction, but the point of using a GUI tool is to speed things up and make my life as a Data Engineer easier. It is not for forcing me to type extraneous commands repeatedly.

You don't need buttons.
Just go to
File
Preferences
SQL Editor
and change Auto commit? to False
and Auto rollback? to False
Or whatever you prefer.
That is what those options are for!
Or learn how to use a TRANSACTION in PostgreSQL.
IE:
BEGIN;
Personally, if I'm in a GUI I'd prefer buttons. They both allow one to quickly see whether they are in a transaction or not (by greying out the buttons when their use is not applicable) and provide a mouse user a very quick way to commit/rollback the query they just executed via clicking the "run query" button.
This has absolutely nothing to do with "Auto Commit/Rollback" other than the buttons would only be meaningful when said option is disabled.
