Problem Connecting to DB After 8.1 Upgrade

i have the following adodb code (which shouldn't be
too hard to figure out for those not familiar with
adodb):

$db = &ADONewConnection('postgres8');
$db->Connect('localhost','postgres','3mydata5','mydb');
if (!$db) die('Connection failed');
$db->debug = true;

$sql_product = 'SELECT product_id, product_number FROM
t_product ' .
'ORDER BY product_number ASC';

$sql_employee = 'SELECT employee_id, first_name || \'
\' || last_name FROM t_employee ORDER BY
LOWER(first_name) ASC';

$db->StartTrans();
$rs_product = $db->Execute($sql_product);
$rs_employee = $db->Execute($sql_employee);
$db->CompleteTrans();

$db is true, but i don't think i'm connecting to the
db. i can echo text prior to the transaction, but i
can't echo anything after the transaction. i removed
the transaction and just left the Execute statements -
same problem.

does anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
