I don't whether the following has anything to do with this problem, but
while developing in VC++ 6 I've come across a few cases where I've sent
a valid SQL statement through ODBC that did not take any effect. I've
sent an UPDATE statement to postrgres, but nothing was updated. I did
not get any errors/exceptions from the driver in a similar try/catch
block (so I assumed that the statement was accepted and processed fine).
I looked into the C:\psqlodbc_xxx.log file, and did not even see a line
in it that shows that the statement was sent to the backend. I only saw
I couple of lines that were used to initiate the connection. (driver
7.01.00.05)

I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but I'd be glad to provide a
copy of the log and some snippet code if I come across it again.

PS. I've been using try/catch instead of TRY/CATCH, and haven't come
across the problem described here yet. Could this have something to do
with VC++'s TRY/CATCH macros?
