I searched thr. SQL92 standard over weekend(sunday and monday.. had a working
saturday..:-)) And need to correct some of the assumptions I stated
previously.

In ECPG we can not dispose connection names as strings because standard
expects it. Hence if we need to provide a connection pointer to denote a
connection, that would be a postgresql only extension and such should be
documented and warned for potential portability problem.

With responses so far, I believe it is OK for me to go ahead and actually try
some coding now..:-)

Will keep things posted.
