Andy,

According to the docs, a positive value of sqlcode indicates a
harmless condition:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/ecpg-errors.html

The sqlstate of 02000 looks like the NO DATA code:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/errcodes-appendix.html

I don't see anything wrong with your cursor declaration, so this just
looks like it's indicating that no rows were returned.
