Hello Data Charmer, AKA Giuseppe!

We had to start somewhere - simple as that. We used JDBC 3.0 as a 
starting point. Neither did the GUI team ask for destructor features yet 
nor did we Connector team guys need it yet.

I'm happy to count -1/0/+1 votes for this feature request and take your 
post as +1[00]. I do hope that Andrey and/or Lawrin will hook in for 
technical details.

Let me put your request on the Wiki page - tomorrow...

Ulf
