Well I was presuming that they would just pass the parameter on. If they didn't then binary_format won't work with them. In the case that they do pass it on, then DISCARD_ALL will reset it and future borrows of the connection will have no way to set it again; effectively making this a one time setting. So while it may not break them it doesn't seem like it is a very useful solution. Dave
