But V3 supports having no parameters at all right?
All we have to do is create a new property called "reOptimize", whose
default value is false.
When reOptimize is true we
- use the code from V2 to fold parameters inline
- re-execute the protocol sequence for Parse/Bind/Execute just as if we
have never seen this SQL statement before (with the parameters inline,
we literally haven't)
We have the code already for this, so no complex coding required.
We can put in server side code for 8.4 to do this, as Tom suggests.
