We've been there, we've done that. We're not doing it again.
Thanks for the pointer to the history.
I had zero enthusiasm for going that way anyway and was mostly trying to figure out what Sridhar was talking about. It's useful to know it's already been explored though.
I think we know where we need to go from here - updating that PgJDBC patch to add a connection option, making sure it doesn't add round-trips, adding tests and merging it. At this point it's up to Sridhar to start putting time and development effort into it to push it forward if desired.
