fork() bad

Hi,

I'm probably doing something wrong here.

My process establishes a connection with a PostgreSQL backen and then
fork()s (twice, actually). To make things even more complicated (though I
don't know if it affects things), my connection handle is a global
variable in a dynamically-loaded shared object.

I tried PQreset()ing the connections after forking and then I'd try a
begin but I'd get the ff.:

NOTICE:  BeginTransactionBlock and not in default state

What does that mean?


So, what's the deal with fork()ing and connections?
