Thread: Nesting level in protocol?

Hackers,

Is there a way to add the current transaction nesting level in the be/fe
protocol without breaking compatibility?  AFAICS the ReadyForQuery
message is not expansible (sp?) :-(

Perhaps you could treat the nesting level as a runtime parameter and 
generate a ParameterStatus message whenever it changes? (and "SHOW 
nesting_level" sounds useful anyway)
