Shay> Asking drivers to do this at the client have the exact same breakage impact as the server change, since the user-visible behavior changes in the same way

Dave>While we can certainly code around this in the client drivers I don't believe they should be responsible for fixing the failings of the server.
Application developers expect that the database feels the same no matter which driver is used, so it would be better to avoid a case
when half of the drivers create exceptions on non-committing-commit, and another half silently loses data.
