Fortunatelly I do not use cursors otherwise I could find it out long time ago,
this was the only solution since the 6.x version, and is working well at
least in my applications.
BTW also the python drivers were ( are ? ) affected by this "idle in transaction"
phenomenon and the jdbc 7.4 series too.
