Distinguish DDL from DML and transaction control - quite useful if you
accept SQL from outside of application.
I mostly meant it's pointless to know the exact DML statement type.
For an application, but for example the JDBC API wants to know update
counts. Currently, Jaybird simply returns the highest value among
insert, update and delete counts. However, knowing the exact type of
statement one could also choose to return the 'best' value (i.e. insert
count for INSERT, update count for UPDATE, delete count for DELETE,
insert + update count for UPDATE OR INSERT, and insert + update + delete
counts for MERGE).
