Am just migrating from mysql db to pgsql db, an want to ask about some
clarifications on the php pgsql api :

*> is pg_fetch_all faster than iterating with pg_fetch_assoc ?
*> how to avoid sql injections, should i use the same methods with
mysql ? (addslashes)

You should test. :-)
I believe (I should test too) that it is faster, but with _large_ data sets
you will use a lot of memory, so things will slow down or break.
For known small results (SELECT ... LIMIT ..) why not.

No, you should use pg_escape_string()
