I really couldn't say.  I don't know what the WebObjects app is
doing.  I know, or *believe* I know, it's only doing queries.  (It
may be doing temp tables internally, or some-such.)  Its interface
to pgsql is via the JDBC that comes with pgsql.  I don't know what
the Java code it generated looks like.

Thanks for the follow-up.  I was beginning to wonder if anybody'd
noticed ;).
