Re: Transactions and SavePoints - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi...
Marko, debtor for the aid.
Not wanting to ask for very, but it would like to lher to ask for of
the same skill..... I already I had given one looked at in the sources
of driver and more or less had identified the problem, ok, but it
happens that I I do not have much knowledge in C and I do not obtain
to compile driver, will be that you it could not make this for me?

In any obliged way
