Seems we had shift-reduce problems and had to remove this
Oracle-compatible syntax. In preproc.y I see:
/*
* for compatibility with ORACLE we will also allow the keyword RELEASE
* after a transaction statement to disconnect from the database.
*/
/* We cannot do that anymore since it causes shift/reduce conflicts. */
ECPGRelease: TransactionStmt RELEASE
and we commented out the ECPGRelease state. You can only use:
| RELEASE SAVEPOINT ColId
| RELEASE ColId
| ROLLBACK opt_transaction TO SAVEPOINT ColId
| ROLLBACK opt_transaction TO ColId
Sorry about that.
