This is an addition in the JDBC 3 spec that we haven't gotten around to 
adding as right now we only return JDBC 2 info.  This obviously makes my 
previous suggestion obsolete and we should just implement this.  This 
looks like a pretty easy thing to do except for the fact that we haven't 
yet dealt with how to return different information for JDBC 2/3 drivers 
without a lot of code duplication.

This has indeed been implemented in the 8.0 series of drivers.
