BTW, in my search for the state of libpq thread-awareness, I
also first tried the archives at www.postgresql.org. And
after a search of:
libpq thread safe
and a wait of 10 minutes, I finally gave up. It seems to me
that the implementation of the search engine does not shed a
very flattering light on the capabilities of PostgreSQL,
when, at PostgreSQL's own website, a simple search criteria
cannot return results within a reasonable amount of time.
PostgreSQL has a (now largely false, I believe) reputation
for being slow compared to its competition. All the
UDM-based search does is serve to reinforce this now
incorrect stereotype.
