[aplusdev] RE: using A+ with PostgreSQL

[Alexei Zalivine]

Hello Brian,

Thank you very much! I'll be try it right now.
What do you think about performance? Because I find in the example A+
parsing of result, and I'm afraid that it can decrease performance. In any
case, it can be useful on not so mush databases.

Alexei.
