You had an error, you need to terminate the transaction before issuing a new one, i.e., do a commit ( which, IIRC, will rollback if the transaction is in error ) or rollback. > Sample Code snippet used As you stated C I cannot comment too much, but notice: > theCursorDec = (RWCString)"DECLARE " + mySqlCursor + " CURSOR FOR " + theSql; > myFetchSql = "FETCH " + fetchStr + " IN " + mySqlCursor; Neither of these are C, they COULD be C++ > // Begin the cursor Same as this comment. > PQexec(connection, ,"BEGIN")) > PQexec(connection, ,"myFetchSql”) And these are definitely not C ( no ; ) and, if you generated them by editing, myfetchsql is quoted which smells fishy. I won't comment more until you confirm that is the real code, but anyway it seems to me you issue transaction start queries without properly terminating them with a transaction end one.
