My problem is, i am writing a simple retrieval program using C, to retrieve
a set of records from database. Then i'll make certain calculation based on
the data that i have retrieved and write it on a new database. I have follow
the sample program to do the retrieval and it works. But i don't seems to
have any samples to do an INSERT to the database? please anyone who have
such simple or working programs where it can INSERT to any database , please
reply to me as a reference.
here is the sample program that i used to do my retrieval:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "libpq-fe.h"
void
exit_nicely(PGconn *conn)
{
PQfinish(conn);
exit(1);
}
main()
{
char *pghost,
*pgport,
*pgoptions,
*pgtty;
char *dbName;
int nFields;
int i,
j;
PGconn *conn;
PGresult *res;
pghost = NULL;
pgport = NULL;
pgoptions = NULL;
pgtty = NULL;
dbName = "template1";
conn = PQsetdb(pghost, pgport, pgoptions, pgtty, dbName);
if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_BAD)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Connection to database '%s' failed.\n", dbName);
fprintf(stderr, "%s", PQerrorMessage(conn));
exit_nicely(conn);
}
res = PQexec(conn, "BEGIN");
if (!res || PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK)
{
fprintf(stderr, "BEGIN command failed\n");
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
PQclear(res);
res = PQexec(conn, "DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR select * from event");
if (!res || PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK)
{
fprintf(stderr, "DECLARE CURSOR command failed\n");
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
PQclear(res);
res = PQexec(conn, "FETCH ALL in mycursor");
if (!res || PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_TUPLES_OK)
{
fprintf(stderr, "FETCH ALL command didn't return tuples
properly\n");
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
nFields = PQnfields(res);
for (i = 0; i < nFields; i++)
printf("%-15s", PQfname(res, i));
printf("\n\n");
for (i = 0; i < PQntuples(res); i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < nFields; j++)
printf("%-15s", PQgetvalue(res, i, j));
printf("\n");
}
PQclear(res);
res = PQexec(conn, "CLOSE mycursor");
PQclear(res);
res = PQexec(conn, "COMMIT");
PQclear(res);
PQfinish(conn);
return 0;
}
Thanks,
joo
