I don't think it's imperative to prevent or detect this condition. The only real caller of this should be the driver itself. If the end user does call this and breaks things I wouldn't consider it our problem. Making this available at the protocol level only would certainly solve that, but it's not really compelling to make a protocol level jump. > I want to add one point to this discussion: There is not just JDBC - > other connection pools or clients might want different behaviour (which > can from my point of view only lead to a complete reset). Right, I am speaking from the JDBC driver perspective, but I think any higher level interface should desire to do statement pooling, which will have this problem. You have not stated what client interface you are targetting, but I believe anything written to a higher level than libpq will need to be aware of this. Perhaps -patches isn't the right place to solicit input for this.
