https://github.com/impossibl/pgjdbc-ng supports ‘setCursorName’. 

PostgreSQL doesn’t support all capabilities defined for cursors but what you’ve referenced should work.

Basically we will not perform positioned updates on the hole table data but for a data portion that it would not exceed 30 rows. That's why I said it depends on what table we're going through.

But we take care about queries performances.

we cannot achieve positioned updates using the JDBC implementation
This is "functional requirement"

All of these parameters depends on what table we're going through
Those a "non-functional requirements" (see [1]).
You'd better collect NFRs *before* you finalize design and write the code.

Our main problem is
Suppose you somehow achieved "positional updates". What if it turns
out to be super-slow? Believe me, there are good reasons for
"positional updates" to be super slow.
You would have to rewrite the whole thing from scratch to make it fast.

This is why I do not want to help you to shoot into your own foot.

Anyway, pull requests are welcome.
