Re: raw data broken in 7.2 driver? - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Hi Dave.

No network issues. Everything is running on my machine (dual intel with
scsi and 512mb ram). Anyone else that has some figures of the raw data
performance?

regards David

storebinary data (not largeobjects as it did in 7.1 and earlier).  This is documented in the 7.2 documentation.  Also
inthe doc is a description on how to revert back to the old behavior.
