None - it is application responsibility to not mess around with the
connections. I usually use the Command pattern from the GoF book to do my
database access. This ensures me that I have one pluggable executor that
can do all the database specific stuff, like proper pre command exec
actions, post command exec actions, exeception handling(Error codes would
be very welcome in pgsql).
