Hello,

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.0 and Java in NetBeans IDE.  In java I have a
method that does a "insert into" and it throws a "duplicate key
violates unique constraint."  I call that method once and then call
another method which does a "select."  However, when the select
method gets called postgres throws a "current transaction is aborted,
commands ignored until end of transaction block."  I've read some of
the mailing list and it says if I set on_error_rollback to on it'll
work; but when I use sql(from netbeans) to set it, it doesn't
recognize on_error_rollback.  My statement is as follows: set
on_error_rollback = on

It's a psql interactive thing rather than something you can use from other clients:
  \set on_error_rollback
It's designed to help with spelling mistakes/scripts etc.

If you get an error back from an insert you need to catch it and rollback yourself.

Of course by default, all PostgreSQL statements execute in their own transaction. That would mean your SELECT would be fine, and implies something in your JDBC setup is issuing "BEGIN" without your knowledge.
