I know that possibility, but I'm just thinking probably an "ad hoc"
protocol for applications that needs to locate, range, skip, lookup,
bookmark etc... a lot
of records, could increase the system performance.
By that, I don't want to discuss about PostgreSQL performance by itself
but about a to much "generalist" protocol.
With libpq, after you got the result, you have to implement locally some
find, range etc, routines and on the other side there is a DBMS born to
do that!
My application need both type of connection LAN/WAN and here (in Italy)
still some lack of wide-band infrastructure.
Also installing certificates on a LAN contest is a bit a "dirty" way to
solve the problem.
