Sorry to push in to this one.  Quick related question if
anyone knows:

With this trend to pooled connections/sessions, there is
sometimes a need to make a given session behave with a specific
user's "hat".  Does anyone have any scalability info on things
like SET ROLE or any recommendations on how to handle specific
user identification issues?  There was something about this a
while ago on the Oracle mag but it was mostly to do with LDAP
authentication and it was for 8i.
