This might be a little tricky as the large object code uses just the
public java.sql.* api. This situation is somewhat analogous to the
DatabaseMetaData calls that we decided should start transactions. In any
case I'm not sure it really matters. The only time the largeobject api
is initialized when a query won't immediately follow is if they are using
the LargeObjectManeger directly and not through the compatible=7.1 or
getBlob.

Seems like a good idea.
