Exactly. The error only appears after you have done a prepare *and* a
select, with no concomitant finish or fetching. Here is a code sample:

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=foobar", $user, $pass,
{AutoCommit=>0, RaiseError=>1, PrintError=>0});

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM baz WHERE waldo > ?");

my $count = $sth->execute(120);

## Exiting here will cause the warning described

if ($count eq "0E0") {
$sth->finish();
}
else {
my $info = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});
## Do something with info...
}

## Exiting is now safe: commit and disconnect are separate issues...
