Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find any mention...

I'm working on the Npgsql, the .NET driver for PostgreSQL, and am trying
to find a way to execute a query but without fetching any rows. The
Execute message has a maximum result-row count, but zero is documented
to mean "fetch all rows".

The use case would be sending a query which might modify or might not
(e.g. UPDATE), but we know that the user is uninterested in any result row.

My current workaround is to specify maxrows=1, was wondering if I missed
a better alternative.

You might be able to add something like WHERE FALSE to the RETURNING clause, but I agree with Andres; this seems like premature optimization.
