Is pgx blocking? #803

Closed onthegit closed 4 years ago

onthegit commented 4 years ago

Hello,

is pgx blocking in nature (e.g when querying the db), does it block the thread on which the goroutine is?

jackc commented 4 years ago

A query involves network I/O and network I/O is blocking in Go from the perspective of the calling goroutine.

Can the following library be used instead of the default net library in go?
