Re: copy vs. C function - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hi guys,

A nub question here since I could not figure it out on my own:

I'm using Hamachi to connect different sites into a VPN and their address always starts with 5.*.*.* - the problem I'm facing is that I cannot make the access restricted to that particular range only.

Currently I got :

host all all 0.0.0.0/32 md5

which allows all the IP's, and the try:

host all all 5.0.0.0/32 md5

does not work.

So what I am suppose to add in "pg_hba.conf" in order to achieve my restriction? Please help me,

Thank you,

Danny

Well, if you're concerned about performance then I think you're going
about this in entirely the wrong way, because as far as I can tell from
this you're converting all the field values to text and back again.
You should be trying to keep the values in Datum format and then
invoking heap_form_tuple.  And yeah, you probably could cache the
type information across calls.
