Ask HN: How to increase PHP+Postgres speed? my testing result is slow
# PHP:
`
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 dbname=test user=test password=test");
$start = microtime(true);
for($i=1;$i<=5000;$i++) {
pg_query("insert into largedb(uid,sid) values($i,$i)");
}
echo ( (microtime(true) - $start) *1000).' ms';
exit;
`
// result: 15504.348993301 ms
# Shell: ` begin for r in 1..5000 loop insert into largedb (uid,sid) values(r,r); end loop; end; $$; ` // result: 43 ms
PHP&PG are in same server. Shell's command is very fast, so seems there is much time spend in interact between PHP and PG. How can I increase this? I've also tested PHP+Mongodb, insert same amount of data only takes 200ms.
