Hi guys

Is there some sort of C API available for PostgreSQL?

Cheers

For C you can use libpq. For C++, see libpqxx in gborg.org (or did it
move to pgfoundry.org?)

Jeff,

Yes, libpq. Look at the 27th chapter in the manual.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere
" to majordomo@postgresql
.org)

Yes, there is a C API available for PostgreSQL. It is called libpq.

Was there some particular reason why you could not find it in the
documentation? It has an entire chapter devoted to it in the
documentation tree...

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
