psycopg2 is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language.
|
|
It was written from scratch with the aim of being small, fast and stable. It
|
|
supports the full Python DBAPI-2.0 and is thread safe.
|
|
|
|
psycopg2 is different from the other database adapter because it was designed
|
|
for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors
|
|
and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. Every open
|
|
Python connection keeps a pool of real (UNIX or TCP/IP) connections to the
|
|
database. Every time a new cursor is created, a new connection does not need to
|
|
be opened; instead one of the unused connections from the pool is used. That
|
|
makes psycopg very fast in typical client-server applications that create a
|
|
servicing thread every time a client request arrives.
