| Actually, the engine doesn't use SQL but BLR. DSQL translates

The following question it not related to the current discussion, but I jump
on it, just because I'm curious.

Does this mean that the server do not parse any SQL statement any time ?
Are DSQL statements (DDL or DML) submitted through the C-API parsed at the
client-side and are the actual network requests to the server done in BLR ?

Sounds really interesting.
