I'm using libpgtcl with PostgreSQL-7.2.3.
There is a discrepancy between the documentation and behavior of
"pg_result $res -oid" when $res is not from an INSERT. The documentation
says it should return an empty string, but in fact it returns 0. I think
it used to return an empty string around PostgreSQL-7.1.3 when PQoidStatus()
was used, but now it uses PQoidValue() which returns InvalidOid, 0 in this
case.
Assuming the current behavior is desired, here is a patch to the
documentation doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml to match what really happens:
