I just found this one on my TODO list:

The error message for "no data" in an exec sql insert select from statement
has to be 100.

It seems I cannot get that kind of information from libpq other than
checking for the result being 0 tuples. But is this correct? Or are there
possibilities to get 0 tuples? That is I get PQcmdTuples(results) = 0 with
the return code being PGRES_COMMAND_OK.

Also I wonder if PGRES_COMMAND_OK could come from other statements for which
setting the not found marker makes no sense. I think it does make sense for
insert, delete and update.

On the other hand returning NOT_FOUND on other commands doesn't do hany harm
though since the whenever not found isn't checked for other commands.

Shouldn't you check for PGRES_TUPLES_OK ? I always check for this if I
want to know if a data select statement has succeeded. And this also
still allows PQntuples() == 0

No, the insert command doesn't return any tuples anyway. But then I don't
check for it either. libecpg has to work with every return value and so
checks them all. It just happens that the insert commend returns
PGRES_COMMAND_OK. :-)
