OK.

OK.

Sure.

So, it's established that a specified READAHEAD N should not
be overridden. Even an explicit READAHEAD 1.

Only a non-decorated cursor can be overridden, even if
a different default readahead window size is specified with
e.g. "ecpg -R 8". If ECPGFETCHSZ is not present, 8 will be used,
if ECPGFETCHSZ is present, its value will be used. ECPGopen()
will need an extra bool argument to distinguish this.

Is this acceptable? Noah, Michael?

Sure, I didn't think about it. It should be done before the
first EXEC SQL OPEN cursor.
