At this point I would be willing to try anything. I am just not sure how to
do it in C and get it into the database. Can you, or anyone else, help me
out with this? I am running postgres 8.2 on a 64 bit windows vista os with
VS2005 installed, so:
1) Can I use VS2005 C++ dll?
2) Where do I set the dynamic library path? I found it commented out in the
pstgresql.conf file, but it is referencing $libdir.
3) Actually, I have not written C code in so long, I would probably even be
better off if I could get someone to write this for me.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this, but that is outside of my expertise
with postgres.
Thanks,
LK
