We do that mostly in my app. You can't say a "visible impact" unless you can measure it in your specific application. Let's say ODBC takes 10 times of .001 sec for libpq. Is this a "visible impact"? | Performance difference would be negligible if the query is server intensive | where execution time is far more than time taken by e.g. communication interface | or transaction handling. | Am I right? You've got to measure -- there are too many variables to give you the answer you are trying to get. To a different question, "Would I use ODBC to work with PostgreSQL if I had the option of using libpq?", I'd certainly answer, "No". You'd need to have the option of using libpq, though. ODBC takes care of a lot of difficult details for you, and libpq's higher performance may turn out to be a loss for you, in your specific situation. -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@xxxxxxxxxxx -- -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
