| Hi Micheal, Thanks for the reply. I am using postgres 7.4.5 client. There's one that is using 7.4.1 client. I'm not sure if there would be any difference. When i use psql and check the status of autocommit, it is set to enable. I'm not sure if libpq and psql uses the same defaults.

As far as I can tell, libpq doesn't have an autocommit setting -- it just sends statements on behalf of the application. Clients that allow the user to disable autocommit presumably do so by implicitly sending BEGIN statements to start new transactions. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings |
