[HACKERS] ecpg vs. libpq
I am wondering if there is any difference in performance between using ecpg and libpq. If I understand the concept of ecpg correctly, calls to the lecpg interface are internally converted to calls to libpq. So there is no big difference at all. Is this right?

That is correct but there are some other differences. 1. Obviously ecpg is simpler to use. 2. libpq is almost thread safe. ecpg is not. It is work in progress. 3. ecpg can not be C++ in itself, libpq can be. Just about it..

[HACKERS] ecpg vs. libpq
I am wondering if there is a fundamental difference in performance between using embedded SQL or libpq functions in a C application. If I understand the documentation correctly, calls to lecpg are simply transferred to calls to libpq. So, the difference in performance is, if any, marginal. Is this right?
