Hi,
I've seen this (see below) in the postmaster's log-file.
I doubt this is normal behaviour.
I'm using PostgreSQL 7.2.3 on hppa-hp-hpux10.20, compiled by GCC 2.95.2
Does anybody know what may cause calls to semctl resp. shmctl
(semaphore control resp. shared memory control) to fail?

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?

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
I've noticed subsequent executions of the same insert command are slow.
I've searched the list archives for this matter and found several
entries
related, including suggestions how to speed up.
The standard answer from the core team is, use COPY.
Sorry, but this is from an application point of vie

Yes. Error codes would be great.
Have you seen
libpq - C Library
Functions Associated with the COPY Command
This is best way to INSERT large amounts of data.

I'm observing the same pretty odd behavior.

There is a pgsql-performance list, which was created for questions like yours.
Your problem was brought up many times before, so searching the archives is
an alternative.

Fairly good idea IMHO, especially considering Christopher's point
about the unlikeliness of needing an exact count anyway.
