# Postgres-wire
A native Haskell driver for PostgreSQL.

Postgres-wire is an efficient implementation of the PostgreSQL binary protocol
designed specifically for the high performance and low latency.

## Performance ##

![Requests](.images/requests.png)

Each test consisted of running queries that select 300 rows of 100 bytes each in a loop with 8 concurrent connections to the database server for 10 seconds. The benchmark results were obtained from Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 32 GB DDR4, PostgreSQL 9.5.5.

## Features ##
* No dependencies on C libraries such as libpq-dev.
* Concise Haskell API.
* First-class notifications support.
* Sending multiple queries in a single batch.
* Built-in prepared statement cache.
* Fast serialization/deserialization.
* In progress. Built-in TLS.
* In progress. Encoders/decoders for built-in PostgreSQL types and advanced types: arrays, ranges, composites.

## Documentation and examples
Will be available on Hackage.
