Re: Re: [INTERFACES] New code for JDBC driver - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Can you give us some background. What is this trying to solve?
From the look of it the purpose is to remove embedded semicolons and quotes.
From my POV this should be handled by the backend.

My reasons are as follows:

1) Any attempt at parsing the query by the driver will slow the driver down.
2) If the purpose of parsing is to make an incorrect query correct; then I
would prefer the backend fail and make me fix my code.
