Re: ResultSet performance question

Thank you all for the suggestions and help.

It turned out to be a little bit of a wild goose chase. We still have not
found the problem. But, it is not in the JDBC driver, but in what our
application does with the result.

We had a performance problem with a report in our production application.
When I ran that query in psql it ran in under 3 seconds in Java it ran in 30.
This made me jump to the conclusion that the performance problem was caused
by the JDBC driver. This is where things get interesting. I was running the
tests from my laptop through our production firewall via SSL connections to
Postgres. When I moved the test code to our production environment the
problem with the test code performance went away and the JDBC ran in just 4
seconds vs. the 3 in psql.

For some reason SSL via the JDBC driver through our firewall performed much
worse than psql and disguised the real issue.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions,

Craig
