Yeah, but they had to back-off from that plan, and AFAIK it only uses libpq for the auth stuff and then switch to dealing with the protocol directly. I don't know what the reasoning was though :-) I guess Joshua would know. I'm not involved in that project. I only know that recently a user posted some measurements showing that ODBCng was way slower that psqlODBC, and it was discovered that it was using v3 Prepare/Bind/ Execute, which was problematic performance-wise due to the planner issues with that. So AFAIK it currently parses the statements internally before passing them to the server. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
