Unless the community decides the high-performance use cases are out-of-bounds as too DB-vendor specific, but let that be a conscious decision at least, not an unforeseen consequence of the library's design/API.
Well, if a library could not support high-performance cases because of its design, I would vote "reject" immediately. I'm ok with the fact that its first release does not support it, but I want to be able to do so in the future.
Thorsten, Dominique, Yes, I agree. As a PostgreSQL, it also is important to me to perform transfer in binary mode instead of textual, also for performance. I have exchanged a few e-mails with Artyom and our opinions regarding text vs binary transfer mode are different here. SOCI and CppDb use text mode. (I've worked on binary mode for SOCI. Unfortunately, SOCI has lost the lead developer and its future is uncertain. If I manage to release binary mode, it will be as separate/forked library, I guess.)
