Well, it helps a little (I don't have to think that much on how to
implement the code, which is java btw... :) )
But I was kinda hoping for a feature like the one that Oracle has, where I
can tell Oracle that I want the resultset from the query to be returned as
XML. (If this is not a feature in PostgreSQL maybe it should be?)
