OK, but I think string representation of such float should
not change during program life.

I tested JDBC driver with much simpler query:
SELECT 1445006113904::float8
so there is known, constant number.

Up to prepareThreshold I got: 1445006113904,
then I got: 1.445006113904E12

I think it is bug because I expect to have the same
string representation of such number regardless
of prepareThreshold. It may be normal or scientific
notation, but SELECT for known, constant parameters
should give the known output. Now output is inconsistent.

In attachment there is Jython code that on my machine
shows:

jdbc:postgresql://test-baza.heuthesd:5494/isof_test?stringtype=unspecified&prepareThreshold=2

STRING FORMAT CHANGED!!!
