- It's my understanding that the ANSI requires that a failed statement
- has no side effects on the transaction itslef:
-
- ANSI requires that if a SQL statement fails, then the results should
- be as if the statement never executed.
-
- The behaviour you describe seems odd, are you sure that something else
- isn't invalidating the cursor?
