Is there a way to prevent transaction abort when preparing command in version 7.4?
 
I googled but haven't been able to find the answer. The issue occurs when our software trys to prepare a command that is already prepared (by the same or different app). PQprepare returns error and aborts current transaction. The company is not willing to upgrade from 7.4 to a later version due to risk.
 
SAVEPOINTs are not available in v.7.4. I'm looking at PQdescribePrepared function. What is the right solution?
 
Thank you
Konstantin
