Обсуждение: client interfaces
Is there anything like a client library for postgres that does not use tcp/ip as the protocol? As part of the performance tuning of our application, the question was posed to me whether there was a more "direct" sort of API that would not require going through the tcp/ip stack. I assume the answer to this is "no", and I see no hint of anything in the source code, but I thought I would ask the question, just to be sure.
Thanks.

PostgreSQL supports connections over Unix-domain (AF_UNIX) sockets if your system does. They still use the socket interface, but they're typically faster than a TCP connection. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/

You can use domain sockets when on the same host as the server.
