You're right. I was too stuck in my particular use-case to consider
that RPC might be possible. I actually can't think of realistic design
for an client application that would set up parameterized query
notifications, however the server does support it so I've gone ahead
and implemented it. Unfortunately this makes the patch a whole lot
bigger, and a large part of my delay in getting back to you was spent
changing my mind several times about the neatest way to squeeze it in.
You may wish to read the diff with ignore-whitespace, because I ended
up pulling a load of if statements out into their own functions.

Yes - the _WITH_INFO part should have been a clue that I needed to
return some info. MS Native Client returns HY000 for the first case
and still executes the query, but I don't have a pre-2005 server to
find out what should happen in the second case so I just left it as a
generic error.

All your other comments have been swept up in to the big restructuring
I needed to do to get RPC working.

Richard.
