ODBC doesn't recommend to call dbms specific commands to control
transaction. Please use BeginTrans/CommitTrans/Rollback instead.

Anyway I improved the handling of transaction under useDeclareFetch
mode a little. Please try the drivers on testing for 8.4.0100 at
  http://www.geocities.jp/inocchichichi/psqlodbc/index.html
.
