I agree. Somehow :)
I mean: I understand the driver needs this information. 100% agreed
there. But adding new protocol messages that "duplicate" the
functionality that should belong (IMHO) only to LD, doesn't make sense.
Sure, it is a poor fit a LD client for a JDBC driver. But I still think
it's the way to go. That was the main starting point for us thinking
about Phoebe, you know :)
So rather than asking everybody to add new messages to the protocol
to support this, wouldn't it be better to support LD in the driver?
Cheers,
Álvaro
