slurping up text data via the connection #4

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The second had to do with dbWriteTable and dbReadTable.  Postgresql has a 
protocol for slurping 
up text data via the connection in a VERY fast manner; this functionality (last 
I checked) was not 
being used to deal with dbWriteTable and dbReadTable.  It would be very nice to 
use that api for the 
reading and (particularly) writing of tables, since it can be an order of 
magnitude or more faster 
than inserts.

This is an 'old' feature request that had come up before. Someone will need to 
supply 
a patch.

Writing a patch for this may make for a nice student project. Contributions are
