Summary: Lazy Proboscis

Initial Comment:
Currently, just about every database action requires the client to wait for the response. This isn't always necessary from a client's standpoint. Rather, it's only necessary to get the response when the response is requested.

For instance, in the usual Prepare->Bind->Execute scenario, it is only until execution occurs that the user wants to see information. So why require the user  to suffer the cost of the latency involved in three round trips when only one is necessary?

The only time this is really desired is when the user wants to realize success for a given segment, so an interface allowing realization is necessary.

Currently, I think it best to make lazy mode the default.
