RE: RE: [ADMIN] High memory usage [PATCH]

My only thought was that we could leave the existing driver in place for
people who are depending on it. In retrospect this isn't a good idea. I
would recommend breaking existing code to make the driver compatible
with the standard.

I would say that it is better to break existing code that depends on
broken behaviour than being out of sync with the standard. Not following
the JDBC standard is just asking for a fork - there are a lot of
object relational tools out there and if want these to work with
postgresql
we have no choice.
