no for protocol level I can understand a yes to this one for sql level, because it will be hard to clean up by hand :-( But I like the analogy to hold cursors, so I would also say no to sql level. Is the pro yes argument ACID allowed here ? I thought ACID is about data integrity and not flow control, and also deals with main transactions and not subtransactions. > Q2: If the subxact changed the state of a pre-existing Portal, should > that state change roll back? In particular, can a Close Portal > operation roll back? NO for both SQL and protocol level. The analogy is imho that closing a 'hold cursor' is also never rolled back > How to do it non-transactionally > -------------------------------- Sounds like a good plan, but also sounds like a lot of work.
