Nothing, I would say. In my mind, Sergio is saying that any app written with
libpq or libpq++ or any other interface that doesn't include some kind of
middleware is broken. Surely that would include psql, pgAccess, pgAdmin,
anything using ODBC written in C or VB or C++?

Or have I missed the point completely?
