i am using a C interface into the database, based on the example code.
occasionally, one of my INSERT's fails, with: INSERT command failed:
PGRES_FATAL_ERROR.
other inserts work correctly. re-entering the data doesnt seem to help, and
a comparison with a successful INSERT doesnt yield anything obvious. is
there any way to get a more granular answer for what it didnt like?
