That still works, the difference in your test case is that the DECLARE statement is prepared. > Example: > > EXEC SQL PREPARE cur_query FROM "DECLARE cur1 CURSOR WITH HOLD FOR > SELECT count(*) FROM pg_class"; > EXEC SQL PREPARE fetch_stmt FROM "FETCH next FROM cur1"; > EXEC SQL EXECUTE cur_query; > EXEC SQL EXECUTE fetch_stmt INTO :c; > EXEC SQL CLOSE cur1; > > With commit bd7c95f0c1, "EXEC SQL CLOSE cur1" will fail > and throw an error "sqlcode -245 The cursor is invalid". > > I think the problem here is ECPGclose(), tries to find the > cursor into "connection->cursor_stmts" and if it doesn't > find it there, just throws an error. Maybe require fix > into ECPGclose() - rather than throwing an error continue > executing statement "CLOSE cur_name" with ecpg_do(). The problem as I see it is that the cursor is known to the backend but not the library. Takaheshi-san, Hayato-san, any idea how to improve the situation to not error out on statements that used to work?
