I can't think of any way to issue the commit, unless the application
is running in an unusual environment which lets you break in and
issue ad hoc commands on its connection.  There is a way you could
fish out the effects of the transaction, although it might be a fair
bit of work.  Each tuple inserted or updated has the transaction ID
set as its xmin in the new tuple, and every tuple deleted or updated
has the transaction ID set as its xmax.  The old and new are
guaranteed not to go away until the transaction completes, one way
or the other.  With some clever programming you could capture the
net effect of the transaction, and duplicate that effect after the
transaction is rolled back.

Be aware that while the transaction is stuck "idle in transaction"
the cleanup of old tuples can't proceed normally; so if you're
continuing to modify any database in the cluster, it could be
accumulating bloat until you resolve this.

Thank You, Kevin, Julien, Scott for the help.

Scott - your idea is worth remembering. The problem is I can not see the tuples until they are committed, or can I ? And if I understand you correctly I can not rely on xmin and xmax values after the commit. Anyway Thank You for the Idea.

I solved the problem by using sql injection methods (I was lucky the application was buggy enough).
