I experienced similar things.  Probably if you change the query order, it=
 will=20
still be so that the first one works.   So the problem is that the connec=
tion=20
/ cursors keep some state that throws it off balance.

I managed to work around this by closing the cursor and reallocating a ne=
w one=20
for the next query.  And having opened the connection with 'auto_commit=3D=
1'=20
also helped. =20
