I would prefer the second option since it is easier to handle (on the server
and on the client side) and much more flexible: as a client I may be
interrested only to test one feature (and so I don't want ALL the features as
some might take some time to compile). Moreover, I still have to find an
elegant way to return a recordset which is not based on a PGresult.
And it does not necessarily return a TRUE/FALSE information: for example to
retreive version numbers, access rights for one user, or other kind of
information. Stephan, what is your opinion on this?

I agree.
