Sounds to me like this ought to be implemented in ECPG and/or its COBOL
equivalent, not in libpq?
That's where the "Embedded SQL" is implemented after all, and also the
equivalent of where Oracle implements its PREFETCH, I think?
And I suppose nobody would be opposed to such improvements, if someone
contributes them or pays for their development...
