Thanks, Fernando.  Unfortunately, this will be a postgresql-ism, not a JDBC
library-ism, and it will likely require that the user be on a particular
version of the database, too (or is this bit going to work even on 7.3 and
pre 7.3 versions too?).  I'm looking for something that doesn't require a
special patch for each of the myriad databases our customers use (MSFT SQL
Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL MySQL and DB2/UDB to name the current list).
