Now to implement customer's desire in PostgreSQL there are two ways:

I don't like both.

What don't you like about 1) ?

I don't know of any other databases that work this way. Using separate connections and connection pooling seems to be "the way to go" here.

Personally, I found the "named transaction" concept a little skrewy unless:

1) SQL commands can be sent asynchronously as long as they are for different named transactions, even while other transactions are still running.
    2) Each transaction runs in a different server-side thread.

If this is what you want, it sounds like you are just trying to multiplex multiple queries and responses over the same TCP/IP connection. For the added complexity on both the client and the server, do you really think it is worth it?

If you just want a connection multiplexor that is backed by a connection pool - I think that would be a lot easier to provide. :-)
