And there are persistant web servers available too, to help work around
this "stateless connection problem"? Let's remember that we are solving
a problem which has few requirements for data integrity, and which is
starting to get out of the realm of Postgres' strengths (almost any
scheme can barf data up to a client if it doesn't care whether it is
repeatable or complete).
Neat stuff though :)
