As I pointed out in another email, this change is not aimed at
applications doing fetch_next, but specifically at drivers like
psqlODBC which have a very special way of handling resultsets, in this
case, updateable resultsets. The aim is to work out why people are
writing their own wire-protocol parsers. To find out the deficiency in
libpq that prevents them using it.

I agree, for what you're talking about I don't think a callback is at
all relevent.

Have a nice day,
