Re: PostGres ODBC too slow

Hi

    Environment is also important. Are you using connecting through LAN
or WAN?

    WAN communications  are impacted by the size of the data
transmitted (and also for not using the network to receive data while
processing previously obtained data). ODBC driver as far as I know does
use text data serialization which may be bigger than other pg clients.
Not having compression does also affect WAN communications but that is
postgres related so other clients would be in the same boat.

Best regards

Jacobo
