Hi Guys,

Anyone know what driver does PSQL CLI use under the hood? Is it JDBC??


Thanks & Regards

It’s directly integrated with the libpq library.

It uses libpq

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq.html

Thanks guys, for performance, should we choose libpq or JDBC? I know C will be faster than Java, but just wanted to
confirm.

I think that would depend on both what you want to accomplish and the skill sets of your developers. C would certainly
befaster, but Java capability may be acceptable to what you’re trying to do.

You actually have hardly a choice. Depending on the programming
language, you are bound to one driver or the other.

Some features are not supported by the standard JDBC driver,
LISTEN/NOTIFY for instance.

Please exchange the "Sent from my ..." text for your mail signature. Or
do you get paid by the manufacturer?

Really?

More importantly,

Please don't top-posts on these lists, the convention is to inline or bottom-post, trimming unnecessary content.

Also, reply-all is recommended.

Reply-to-list is recommended for list discussions.

I can’t actually find a recommendation but just looking at what actually happens here broadly, and by high-volume posters specifically, reply-all is the norm.  The point is to make sure you include the list, not exclude individuals (or only reply to individuals).

David's correct in his response here, though perhaps a few more words
can help clarify- there's a lot of folks who have signatures that they
use on these lists and there generally isn't any hard and fast rule
about what's acceptable or not, but a one-line comment about the email
being sent from a mobile device is entirely acceptable and does not
deserve comment or concern.

Reply-all is the convention used on these lists.  I don't think folks
get horribly bent out of shape over reply-to-list, but it can be a bit
confusing and in some cases lead to responses taking longer as some
folks prioritize things that are sent to them directly (because they've
engaged in that thread) vs. the rest of the email that hits the list.

There's certainly arguments for if that's really the 'best' approach or
not, but it's been convention here for at least the past 15 years, so I
don't expect it's likely to change anytime soon. :)

Thanks,

Stephen
