Sigrid was not fully correct saying 'After every fetch we open a transaction...' Our layer between application and ESQL/C has a function call DB_strT() to start a transaction. But this does nothing for PostgreSQL because in PostgreSQL' ESQL/C there is no method "START TRANSACTION", see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/ecpg-commands.html#ECPG-TRANSACTIONS There are only COMMIT and ROLLBACK. I think we will prepare the ten-liner in ESQL/C for further discussion. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@xxxxxxxxxxx, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub Без книги нет знания, без знания нет коммунизма (Влaдимир Ильич Ленин) Without books no knowledge - without knowledge no communism (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin) Sin libros no hay saber - sin saber no hay comunismo.
