To answer also the question of Adrian Klaver: The database in question has ~400 tables and the ESQL/C application has for each table its own ESQL/C source file. It would be possible but a nightmare to share the code and it's better to discuss the problem based on the ESQL/c log file or I have to write some small example code to reproduce the problem. The line numbers are relative to those source files (and it's a pitty that the name of the source file is not logged, onle the line numbers).

Maybe that's just an oversight in the ESQL/C logging > logic, but I wonder what's actually getting to the server. You might try I looked into the source and the ECPGtrans ... is logged before its execution in the source interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/misc.c and after the execution only an error condition would be logged. As there is only the line of the COMMIT w/o anything else, it seems to be executed fine. > enabling log_statement = all so you can get a trace of what the server > thinks is happening. I will do so, but would have to find a time window for this to not be swamped by the logs.
