Re: JDBC 4 support

Right, so going back to Kris' original question--what jdbc4 features
do you need specifically? I know just enough about Hibernate to be
dangerous, so excuse the stupid question, but does Hibernate actually
expose a given driver's jdbc API to users (i.e., you need to provide
the full feature set)?
