Description: ------------ If the libpq v3 protocol is available, the PDO_pgsql::query will use implicit prepared statements. This can be a big performance hit for apps that execute a lot of small sql statements. It would be good to be able to switch this feature off as required. Example code snippet to illustrate the use case is below: Looking at the php code, it seems that either of PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT should be able to do this. However neither actually have any effect in this case. I have a patch that makes the latter work in this case. Reproduce code: --------------- //Example code snippet // (now while this cries out to be converted to use $dbh->prepare and // $stmt->execute(), more complex cases may not just reexecute // the same or similar sql) // $dbh = new PDO($url, $user); $dbh->beginTransaction(); for ($i = 0; $i < $num_execs; $i++) { $stmt = $dbh->query($sql); } //Adding these directives has no effect: // $dbh = new PDO($url, $user, "", array(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true)); // //or // $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT, true); Expected result: ---------------- Setting PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_NATIVE_PREPARED_STATEMENT or maybe ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES should stop server side prepare in PDO::query Actual result: -------------- Server side prepare is always used if libpq v3 protocol is detected. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48764&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48764&r=mysqlcfg
