Обсуждение: BUG #1725: psql --command and PQexec do not work and fail silently

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1725
Logged by:          Charlie Monkton
Email address:      charlie@hwhc.net
PostgreSQL version: 7.4.6
Operating system:   Solaris 9
Description:        psql --command and PQexec do not work and fail silently
Details:

Create the following tables:

create table test
(
        i       int primary key not null
);
create table test_ref
(
        i       int references test(i) on delete cascade
);

Executing the following SQL via the psql -c option (or PQexec does not
work:

psql  -c "delete from test;insert into test values ( 1 );insert into
test_ref values ( 1 );"
INSERT 30816 1

#select * from test_ref;
 i
---
(0 rows)

echo "delete from test;insert into test values ( 1 );insert into test_ref
values ( 1 );" | /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
DELETE 1
INSERT 30813 1
INSERT 30814 1

# select * from test_ref;
 i
---
 1
(1 row)

This is very bad as multiple statement executed by PQexec fail and do not
return an error message.

In 7.4 and before, test's ON DELETE trigger won't be fired until the end
of that command string, so it deletes both the old and new rows in
test_ref.  We changed the timing of trigger firing in 8.0, and now that
example works as you expect.
