I would go with 2).
Npgsql supports multiple resultsets. You can pass a query separated by
semicolon ';' or you can use a procedure call which return a setof
refcursor.
On both ways, you will need to call NextResult in your Datareader just
like with SQLServer.
You can check our user manual: http://manual.npgsql.org to get more
info about how to use refcursors
I hope it helps.
Please, let me know if you need more info.
