Hmm, seems I committed a change too hastely.
Hiroki Kataoka also has a similar opinion.

The following statement types are in psqlodbc.h.
Well how about "begin" before TYPE_SELECT
etc and "commit" before TYPE_OTHER
statements ?

/* statement types */
enum {
STMT_TYPE_UNKNOWN = -2
STMT_TYPE_OTHER = -1,
STMT_TYPE_SELECT = 0,
STMT_TYPE_INSERT,
STMT_TYPE_UPDATE,
STMT_TYPE_DELETE,
STMT_TYPE_CREATE,
STMT_TYPE_ALTER,
STMT_TYPE_DROP,
STMT_TYPE_GRANT,
STMT_TYPE_REVOKE,
};

Regards,
Hiroshi Inoue
