I take it you did not use 'ecpg -t' did you? The normal situation is that
ecpg creates a auto-transaction mode, i.e. a transaction is started
automatically. You only need to issue a COMMIT once you finish your
transaction resp. a ROLLBACK if you want to cancel it.
So you tell the backend to start a transaction while already inside a
transaction. And that cannot work.
You can either just remove the BEGIN WORK statement or you always give
option '-t' to ecpg.

Why do you need that? You do not need an explicit lock for the delete to
work.
