Re: [pgsql-jdbc] Daily digest v1.2821 (7 messages)

I've also (many years ago) a binary patch specifically for arrays, I
also rewrote the text version as well to be much more efficient (at the
time there was significant speed ups). I should get around to cleaning
it up and submitting it - maybe along with the others....

One thing you can do is replace StringBuffer with StringBuilder which
doesn't do synchronisation and is faster, which is something that could
be done throughout the driver as at the time I couldn't find any shared
instances - but requires java1.5
