Hi, The problem with ODBC is that it is a _big_ package, with a separate daemon running, and last I've checked database drivers are not necessarily free. (this applies to the unixodbc package). On Sat, 2011-02-05 at 10:08 -0800, Evan Rempel wrote:
ODBC allows for prepared statements and is supported on all major databases. ________________________________________ From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Balazs Scheidler [bazsi@balabit.hu] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 5:30 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] abandon libdbi and write a new sql driver?

But I don't see anything against libdbi per-se, within syslog-ng a similar API would be needed to cover all database APIs, so why reinvent the wheel?
Not having prepared statements means every insert requires a parse.
That cuts the performance of transactional DBs a lot.
Particularly Oracle suffers from this because generating too many statements overflows its memory pools.
I see, good to know. Thanks for the information.
