Re: about monitoring the input stream

If you're trying to add diagnostic data collection to all sockets you
could provide a custom SocketFactory implementation which returned
wrappers around Sockets that return CountingInputStream objects instead
of regular InputStream objects to the getInputStream() method.

I don't think that the PG JDBC driver allows you to specify a custom
socketFactory, but you could always set the default system socket
factory.  If you do other network operations in the same JVM, your
factory could be smart enough to ignore sockets that don't connect to
your PG server/port.
