I'm not sure it's legal to simply ignore the fact that the method is not
implemented. I think at minimum we'd need to keep the client info data in
the Connection object even if we don't send it to the database. This
would make it look like it was working to the JVM there just wouldn't be a
way to get at it on the database side.
