Oh, OK. Forget what I said earlier about you writing your own database. :-)

I assume this is because you wrote your code assuming a feature was in
ecpg, but it wasn't, right?

I see on the TODO list under ECPG:
o Implement SQLDA
o Add SQLSTATE
Are these related to your problem? I see SQLCA in the ecpg code
already. Is it implemented incorrectly? If so, I could use items to
add to the TODO list.
You are actually the first person to complain about this, as far as I
can remember.
