Re: Frontend/Backend protocol 3.0

We too don't want to do so. However until the testing of new libpq odbc
driver is completed, the user can have an option of using socket code or
libpq code.

Once the new libpq odbc driver is stable we can get rid of the socket
stuff.

Why keep the socket stuff? The whole point is to get rid of it and the
associated complexity and rely on libpq.
