I haven't been following this thread very closely. Excuse me if I'm
totally off base here.

I assume you're talking about this method in org.postgresql.Driver:

public static SQLException notImplemented()
{
return new PSQLException(GT.tr("This method is not yet implemented."), PSQLState.NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
}

I agree with Kris that there is no need to include the method name in
the exception. It is already shown in the stack trace.

However, you can easily patch this method so that it includes the
caller's method name in its error message. All you have to do is peek
one level up the stack trace.
