Hi Gurus,
I tried a plpgsql block from the php.
example
a='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 = <new value> where condition;
commit;
end;';
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 it says "ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block"
Why?
Did we need to do any special step up to execute a block or blocks won't execue from command line mode? Please advise.
Regards
skarthi

plpgsql blocks only work in a plpgsql function.

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.
