error with transaction: SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION READ ONLY;;

[Alan Smithee]

Describe the bug

When attempting to run a query in a transaction,

QueryError: 💔 Your query failed to parse.
This is most likely due to a SQL syntax error. However, you might also have hit a bug, or an unimplemented feature of pg-mem.
If this is the case, please file an issue at https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem along with a query that reproduces this syntax error.

👉 Failed query:

    SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION READ ONLY;;

    - A "kw_to" token
