Hi, I have a strange problem with my Postgres application. The problem is that the data entered in the application never reaches the database, although the record id (serial) is generated, and the record can be retrieved again, and be modified. Multiple records can be added and modified. But when i check the data with psql, the record is not there. The application uses persistant database connection, and when i check the status of the connection, it shows: "idle in transaction". I am pretty sure that every insert is being committed with explicit "commit()" . It always worked before.... weird. thanks for any hints Ksenia.
