Hi, i am running some tests to check performance between postgresql and mysql.
one important issue is PQconnectdb (PQconnectStart/PQconnectPoll) against mysql_init/mysql_real_connect functions. (debian platform/C application). PQconnectdb("host=localhost dbname=my_db user=my_user password='' sslmode=disable"); co = mysql_init(NULL) mysql_real_connect(co, "127.0.0.1", "my_user", "", "my_db", 0, NULL, 0) PQconnectdb is taking too long comparing to mysql and i found out the time is consumed by PQconnectPoll waiting for the socket to be ready for reading/writing but this behaviour is not seen in mysql. I cannot use persistent connections. I must open/close a connection anytime I want to insert something new. do i have to configure something different? Am i missing something? this problem gets even worse under PHP. Regards,
