 * Callback interface for passing query results from the protocol-specific
 * layer to the protocol-independent JDBC implementation code.
 *<p>
 * In general, a single query execution will consist of a number of calls
 * to handleResultRows, handleCommandStatus, handleWarning, and handleError,
 * followed by a single call to handleCompletion when query execution is
 * complete. If the caller wants to throw SQLException, this can be done 
 * in handleCompletion.
 *<p>
 * Each executed query ends with a call to handleResultRows,
 * handleCommandStatus, or handleError. If an error occurs, subsequent queries
 * won't generate callbacks.
