It shouldn't:
cat transaction_test.sql
BEGIN;
insert into transaction_test values(1, 'test'), (2, 'dog'), (3, 'cat');
test=# create table transaction_test(id integer, fld_1 varchar);
test=# \i transaction_test.sql
BEGIN
INSERT 0 3
test=*# commit ;
COMMIT
test=# select * from transaction_test ;
id | fld_1
----+-------
1 | test
2 | dog
3 | cat
(3 rows)
