And what? It is very convenient and practical for many developers. If I _wish_ to use it for my convenience and if I don't want to port my programs to other DBMS, why somebody forbids to use those useful features for me?

And if I as the drivers developer _wish_ to use to be as portable as possible to other drivers, what forbids me to remove such a feature? :-)

Sorry, but my argument was simply that I consider upwards portability in that point as less important.

Well, less important than what? ;) It is not only 'upwards portability', but mostly 'convenience' (possibility to use 'questionable features' with convenient wrappers such as selectrow_hashref etc.).

So, CONVENIENCE vs WHAT?

That's my view and you have a different. Fine for me. It is simply that my opinion counts as well as yours.

I think we can come to the compromise: this 'feature' can be made optional and be default there will be a 'new' behavior. But it should be an option to use an 'old' one.

Volunteer for a patch? :-)

If I will make a patch for optional enabling end disabling this 'feature' (the current behavior will be the default), will you include this patch into the official version?
