Hello, When an ESQL/C written process issues a EXEC SQL DISCONNECT [connection]; do the opened CURSOR(s) still survive? We run into the problem that the father process issues DISCONNECT before forking children, the forked child CONNECTs to the same server and database again and "thinks" it has to CLOSE the CURSOR (perhaps a long standing bug in our application we port now from Sybase(...) to PostgreSQL).
