I should have been more explicit. My main issue is with the following
statement from the link that you posted:

> A key limitation of the JDBC driver is that it cannot receive
asynchronous notifications and must poll the backend to check if any
notifications were issued

Polling is much less efficient than event handling and I'm sure that
there's a major performance hit with that.
