Argh... Does this mean that my connection pooler needs to keep track of all
statements and result
sets the user creates. I assume this means I also need to wrap the
statements so that I can
capture the returned result sets by overriding the execute method. Is this
correct?

Do you know of any source out there that implements connection pooling in a
portable manner so I could use it with both Oracle and Postgresql?

It also appears that once a non-autoCommit transaction has sustained an
SQLException, it is
useless until a rollback is done - at least in PostgreSQL. Is this correct?
