>For my Python DBAPI2 PostgreSQL driver I plan the following optimizations:
I suggest you have a look at my Python ocpgdb driver: http://code.google.com/p/ocpgdb/ It uses the v3 binary protocol exclusively (to avoid the usual escaping security issues). A number of gotchyas were discovered along the way - in particular, you must be a lot more careful about types (as you note in a later reply). There were also some issues with the v3 protocol, most of which have been fixed now. ocpgdb does not implement everything, just the bits I needed. That said, other people/projects are using it in production, and it's proven to be fast and stable. -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
