Hi. At the moment libpq doesn't seem to support asynchronous and non-blocking support for large objects, in the style of PQsendQuery/PQgetResult. This makes large objects hardly suited for single-threaded programs based on some variant of select().
I would like to know whether this is a deliberate decision or it is considered a bug, and, in case, whether it is scheduled to be fixed. Though I cannot guarantee anything, I may be interested into working out a patch, if no one is already doing the same (of course I understand that this patch wouldn't be for 9.3, which is already in its late release cycle). Do you think this may be of interest? Thanks, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani <[email protected]> Pisa, Italy Web: http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~mascellani Jabber: [email protected] / [email protected]
