Just showing my ignorance: I read 46.2.3 Extended Query, and wondered "What
is a portal?" (portal == cursor?)
also noted that SQL EXECUTE (prepared statement) != Execute (portal)
and in 46.3. Message Data Types, reading "There is no predefined limit on
the length of a string that can be returned by the backend." one might say
Oh no! but of course you know what it's maximum size is by then, as you know
the length of the response which contains the string..
Cheers,
Patrick
