Re: really in neeed of help...queston about libpxx

libpqxx is a c++ wrapper on top of the c client library which gets installed along with the database itself. So, the libpqxx functions call the c functions, but provides an object oriented interface to those functions. For example, there is a connection object, transaction object... The configure script you run when preparing to compile libpqxx checks for (on this install) /usr/local/lib/pgsql/libpq.so, and then links against -lpq

the download has good tests which are demo programs. They are compiled with 'make test'. I got pretty far with using the demos.

The documentation for libpqxx is sometimes a duplication of the postgresql C documentation. Like, the connection constructor takes the same arguments, the environment variables are the same, etc.

> Hi! Im just new to pgsql. I'm trying to use pqxx since the program that I'll be doing is in C++. I'm using Redhat Linux 9.0 and using KDevelop for programming. What do I need to do in order to get libxx working? (linking libraries, etc) I've already installed them but haven't tried integrating the database in my program yet. Do you have sample C++ programs that use libxx? Is the tutorial (html files) found in the pqxx package enough or should I also study the documentations found pgsql?
