XSQLDA alone was never able to satisfy the API level developers (maybe
except the very early days). In order to get more detailed information,
there are special tags for isc_dsql_sql_info(). For example, it can
deliver you all the information necessary to manually fill the XSQLDA
(this is basically what fbclient does behind the scene). So, unless
we're speaking about a whole new API, I don't think that such changes to
XSQLDA are a good idea. Just ask us about adding a new statement
information tag and use the proper API call instead. Yes, this is an
extra round-trip to the server. But, believe me or not, this isn't an
API defect but rather a feature ;-)
