But I'm wondering -- is this a PostgreSQL extension,
or is it "legal SQL"?
The whole libpq API is made up out of thin air, so it's not conforming
to any public standard.
Oh, wait. Though you didn't say it explicitly, I guess
you're implying that it is libpq the one that splits the
thing into the individual SQL statements and then send
each of those to the backend? (wrapped around a
transaction?)
In particular, I'm wondering
if it is a feature that in the future you might
decide to eliminate for not being ANSI-SQL compliant.
Because of the above, that cannot be a reason for eliminating any
interfaces.
Well, I was under the impression that the backend would
receive *one* command with *one* string that contains
all the SQL's separated by semicolons. This is what I
thought might be removed in future releases, if it is
considered that it's an unnecessary extension, etc.
Thanks,
Carlos
