Yes. It do it this way.

It made older versions too becouse driver (with UseDeclareFetch turned
on) change SELECT .. to DECLARE CURSOR FOR SELECT ...
This SQL command return ok (no recordcount). Then is called fetch
which get max "cache size" (in Data Source options) rows and
backend return fetched count.
It's need whole rewrite of psqlodbc to solve this problem.

Unfortunatelly this depends only on UseDeclareFetch option.
New driver has problem with rowcount but I'll send patch for the problem
in few minutes. This patch doesn't solve your problem as I describe above.
