Hi Gurus,
=20
    I tried a plpgsql block from the php.
=20
    example=20
=20
    a=3D'begin
      insert into table a values (....);
      insert into table b values (....)
     insert into table c values (...)
     select into p_var ... from table where condtion
     update a set column =3D <new value> where condition;
    commit;
    end;';
   =20
    I works fine when I call this block from php, whereas, I tried to copy =
the same value from the command line prompt or PGadmin GUI utility.  Then i=
t says "ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end =
of transaction block"=20
=20
  Why?
=20
   Did we need to do any special step up to execute a block or blocks won't=
 execue from command line mode? Please advise.
=20
Regards
skarthi

My guess:

PHP treat each line separately and sends line by line to the server and
adds the missing ';' if necessary.

If you send this from the GUI the server received one big command with
syntax-errors, because the missing ';' after some commands.
