Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the reply. I am using postgres 7.4.5 client. There's one
that is using 7.4.1 client. I'm not sure if there would be any difference.
When i use psql and check the status of autocommit, it is set to
enable. I'm not sure if libpq and psql uses the same defaults.

Thanks,

Hasnul
