As you found out in the log, the driver runs DbEaver run multiple SQL stat=
ements during the "log in".
And the first query will start a transaction, but as autocommit is disable=
d, nothing will end
that transaction.

Idle is not a problem, "idle in transaction" is.

Yes, that's how turning off autocommit works. As soon as a statement is se=
nt through the JDBC driver, the driver will
send a BEGIN to start the transaction, but the the application (or the use=
r) is responsible to end it through a COMMIT
(or ROLLBACK).
