The following is a quote from a consultant's opinion on my intention to
migrate to Postgresql.
Quote:
[ODBC public domain drivers] are immature, inefficient and are network
bandwidth hogs. The public domain drivers don't support connection caching
which reuses an existing database connection for same queries to reduce the
query result time.
Unquote.
Please comment.

Best regards,

Mihai
