Limit for an transaction

I've had this also. The problem has always been that I've made a mistake in my
SQL.

Since the transaction is going to rollback anyway, any subsequent changes are
ignored.
I've done 95,000 inserts in a transaction without problems.

Regards

John

No, there is no limit to the number of statements in a transaction. You
get that error when you try to issue another statement in a transaction
after the previous statement has failed. You have to rollback the
transaction in order to continue after one of the statements fails, else
you get that error.

Moin,

ist there any limit for the length of an transaction? I'am
using postgreSQL 6.5.1 with PHP and the apache log says:

NOTICE: (transaction aborted): queries ignored until END

Usually that appears right after one of the queries you
did failed for some reason (usually a typo in the query).
Since the query didn't complete sucessfully it must be aborted,
and this it ignores all queries until END.
