Did you actually start a transaction (i.e. issue BEGIN)? If not, your
statement COMMITs automatically.

Also, you might want to note the remark on the PostgreSQL security
pages: "Please note that versions prior to 8.3 are no longer supported
and vulnerabilities for these versions may not be included in this
list. New vulnerabilities in these versions are no longer patched."
See http://www.postgresql.org/support/security/. I'd plan to upgrade
soon.

Best,
