Nope, and most of the PG developers think that such a thing would be an
actively bad idea. If you do that, any error in the client code has the
direct potential for corrupting the internal state of the database.
With a client/server model, the database has some chance of defending
itself, because it's not sharing an address space with client code.
Just because MySQL will do it doesn't make it a good idea ;-)
