Yes, the JDBC standard assumes the SQL standard, so to be JDBC compliant
one is assumed to be SQL compliant as well.

We could do this in the driver to make it for the older backends (we are
going to support 7.3 and 7.2 in the 74 driver still).  On the other
hand, people using 7.3 backends have other non-SQL compliances that we
cannot mask with the driver, so I wonder if this is worthy of the extra
if statement.  But that is for Barry and Dave to decide, if someone
submits a patch.
