Re: Backend protocol wanted features

LDin the driver? 

Well, it would still require to wrap one's mind around to get that efficient.
You do not like to deallocate all server-prepared statements after
each DDL, do you?
On the other hand, JDBC driver does not know changes to which
tables/views/functions/types would impact statements prepared in
current session, thus JDBC driver has no idea which changes it should
subscribe to.

>wouldn't it be better to support LD in the driver?

That's another question. +1 for supporting LD in the driver (for both
internal and external uses).
