Yeah, but if you have tens or hundreds of clients, you wouldn't want to be installing/managing a pgpool on each. Similarly, I think an application should have the option of being notified of a connection change; I know that wasn't in Simon's proposal, but I've found it necessary in several applications which rely on things such as temporary tables. You don't want the app just blowing up because a table doesn't exist; you want to be able to handle it gracefully. -- Jonah H.
