Unfortunately, cursors are considerably different. The PostgreSQL
cursors conform to the SQL92 standard (pretty much), but Informix seems
to support SQL89 only with some extensions of their own (???). We had a
discussion about this in this group back in June, 1999.
You might want to check the archives. The title was something
like "ecpg documentation" or something like that. I saved part of the
discussion as a Unix text file, which is attached.
