Why not tracing PQcmdStatus(result) on the persistent connection? It allways returns "BEGIN",
"COMMIT" or "ROLLBACK" for whatever you issued.
Well, it'll not catch the uncommon case that someone might issue multiple queries in one statements
(semicolon separated). But that's IMHO bad practice anyway and the above will avoid communication, context switching
andeating up of XID's until we have silent rollback in 7.2.
