Yes, ecpg will be thread-safe in 7.4.

Anyone know the scoop on this?

Hi,

Nothing is said about "Multi-threaded use of SQLCA" in 7.4.

I have developed a pgBench in PRO*C with each Client symbolized by a User
Thread. It runs on Oracle 9i but, on PostgreSQL, it crashes or hang after a
while due to the the fact that the Postgres ProC 7.3.2 isn't thread-safe.

I have read in the TODO list that SQLCA is planed to be Thread_Safe in 7.4.
Will it be ?

Thierry
