I expect that ecpg supports cursors that include functionality
for constructs like:
UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET MARRIED = 'T'
WHERE CURRENT OF CURSOR_NAME;
but this support seems to be absent in libpq.
Is this being planned for a future release? If so, which
one?
This is well supported feature by commercial databases (Oracle,
Sybase, Informix to name a few), but I just don't see any hint
of it coming to libpq.
TIA, Warren.

It arrives when someone codes it, maybe 8.1. I think Fujitsu was going
to have someone work on it for 8.1, but I am not sure.
