-### Client pooling
+### Simple
 
-Typically you will access the PostgreSQL server through a pool of clients.  node-postgres ships with a built in pool to help get you up and running quickly.
+Sometimes you may not want to use a pool of connections.  You can easily connect a single client to a postgres instance, run a query, and disconnect.
 
 ```javascript
-var pg = require('pg');
+var pg = require('pg'); 
+//or native libpq bindings
+//var pg = require('pg').native
+
 var conString = "postgres://postgres:1234@localhost/postgres";
