And that's what I did, see attached patch. I had to add quite a few
imports to PGXAConnection so that it can work on the lower level and check
the command status coming from the server.
Michael: Does it now look OK to you?
It just occured to me that we have the same problem with regular commit,
don't we? If the transaction has failed, commit doesn't throw an
exception. I'm not sure if it should. The java.sql javadoc doesn't
explicitly say so, but IMHO it should.
