Sounds to me like this ought to be implemented in ECPG and/or its COBOL equivalent, not in libpq? That's where the "Embedded SQL" is implemented after all, and also the equivalent of where Oracle implements its PREFETCH, I think? And I suppose nobody would be opposed to such improvements, if someone contributes them or pays for their development... -- Jan Claeys (please don't CC me when replying to the list)
