For me, the most common issue I run into with pgbouncer (after general administrative overhead of having another moving part) is that it works at cross purposes with database-based sharding, as well as useful role and permissions scheme. Since each server connection is specific to a database/role pair, you are left with some unappealing options to handle that in a pooling environment. The next most common problem are prepared statements breaking, which certainly qualifies as a session-level feature. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com
