Mark,
Any help on moving the jdbc code base forward is more than welcome. In
briefly looking over your suggestions below they all seem fine to me.
(Of course the devil is in the details). I would also suggest looking
at http://lab.applinet.nl/postgresql-jdbc for a list of where we are
lacking in jdbc2 support.
thanks,
--Barry
