database access via c++ program...

Hi, my name is Emil, I am a software engineer at NEC, Japan.  This is not in
any way related to my work, but I am that interested in cygwin that I
installed it on my own PC and right now I am enjoying it.  Your work is a
good one really, I appreciate what you guys are doing.

I am just wondering, because I have installed PostgreSQL on my Cygwin
(Windows NT) and this is my first time to attempt a dive into the database
realm. I am not sure of this, but there should be a way to access a database
through say, a C++ program.  Right now my Cygwin-PostgreSQL database is
working fine, I was able to create databases and tables, view them, modify
the contents, etc.  But what I really want to do right now is to create a
simple program that would successfully connect to my PostgreSQL databases (i
have to specify the database i assume).  Just a 5-liner maybe, just to test
the connection.

I tried and looked for some sample codes in the internet but I cant quite
find a good one.  I hope you guys can help me.

My PostgreSQL is running okay, i just dont know what functions should be
called, what header files to include, etc.

Thank you for your time guys, and i hope to hear from you soon.

PS Maybe in the future, when I get to know a lot about Cygwin, I would
contact you guys and join your support group probably... :-)


Sincerely,
Emilio Uy III

If you're using gcc or a similarly good compiler (Visual C++ will NOT work),
try libpqxx:
http://members.ams.chello.nl/j.vermeulen31/proj-libpqxx.html

I don't know how well it installs under Cygwin, but a simple test program
using libpqxx as its C++ interface to PostgreSQL can be something like:

#include <iostream>
#include <pqxx/connection.h>#include <pqxx/transaction.h>#include <pqxx/result.h>
using namespace std;using namespace pqxx;
int main(){    try    {        Connection C("dbname=mydatabase");        Transaction T(C, "T");        Result R =
T.Exec("SELECT* FROM pg_tables");
 
        for (Result::const_iterator c = R.begin();            c != R.end();            ++c)        {            cout <<
c[0].c_str()<< endl;        }
 
        T.Commit();    }    catch (const exception &e)    {        cerr << e.what() << endl;        return 1;    }
    return 0;}

HTH,
