And one more thing: this chapter applies to connection pool and not
to the core driver. Statement pooling happens inside PooledConnection
instance and not inside the driver. Method
DatabaseMetaData.supportsStatementPooling() is overriden by
Connection wrapper from the pool and gives application a hint if
prepared statements are pooled or not. This behavior is supported in
connection pool I wrote at work, and, afaik, in PoolMan too.
