I am trying to use a clientside prepared query using vb and ado. Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong that is causing ODBC to complain? Here are the strange logs that I am seeing: 2008-06-09 10:22:00 ERROR: syntax error at or near "SELECT" at character 16 2008-06-09 10:22:00 STATEMENT: SELECT INVALID SELECT STATEMENT TO FORCE ODBC DRIVER TO UNPREPARED STATE 2008-06-09 10:22:00 LOG: statement: ROLLBACK Basically, I'm trying to merge many project level databases in to one all inclusive database. I am using prepared inserts inside a transaction to push to old data to its new home. However, no client side error message is raised. Also, instead of seeing all or non of the records commited, I see that one(actually the last insert attempt) record gets commited. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug
