As I pointed out in another email, this change is not aimed at
applications doing fetch_next, but specifically at drivers like
psqlODBC which have a very special way of handling resultsets, in this
case, updateable resultsets. The aim is to work out why people are
writing their own wire-protocol parsers. To find out the deficiency in

all relevent.
