The broken BLOB support is a complete showstopper for PostgreSQL in some
environments, so that feels like a high priority.

As for JDBC 2.0, has anyone tried some sort of test suite for compliance?
I know that some differences from the SQL standards make it impossible for
PostgreSQL to be truly JDBC 2.0 compliant at the time, but it would be
nice to know if we are as close to compliance as we can be.
