That would be nice but I don't think it's essential. When the issue came up originally (a year or more ago I think) I tweaked the DBI spec to say that sth metadata attributes may not be available after the sth goes in-Active. Note that any attributes used already will be cached and thus still available after finish(). It's probably best not to change the code until next_results() and related support for batched statements gets added. Tim.
