As usual, our resident standards guru comes and saves the day. :-)

Ok, I'm going to implement the SQL3 C API, which is a streaming API. The
one change I'll make is I'll be adding a
Boolean SQLIsNewGroup(hstmt), so that the OO stuff can tell when a new
object type is on the way. Oh and I'll have some appropriate APIs for
postgres specific extensions, like SQLLastInsertOid().
