I mean, I just can't agree with that way of characterizing it. It seems clear enough that the driver not only should not change the semantics of the server, but that it cannot. It can, however, decide which of the things that the server might do (or that the application connected to it might do) ought to result in it throwing an exception. And a slightly different set of decisions here would produce the desired behavior instead of behavior which is not desired.

Fair enough. What I meant to say was that the driver isn't in the business of providing different semantics than the server provides.
