Probably spending most of their time setting up a new connection, then
clearing it down again.

If I do it in Python it could do all queries in the same connection, so
should be faster? Besides that 'psql' is written in perl, so its also
heavy, by not using psql I get rid of perl library in RAM. Also the
script uses wget to poll some external data sources a lot, also
needlessly opening new connection to the webserver, so I want to make
the script save the http connection, which means I must get rid of wget.
Maybe I should write some parts in C?

BTW, doesn't there exist any tool does what "psql -c" does, but is
written in plain C, not perl? I was looking for such psql replacement,
but couldn't find any.


?

file `which psql`
/usr/bin/psql: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
