One side, I talk to pgsql, the other side, I need to make a listener which accepts the protocol from pgsql’s and mysql’s ODBC (talking wired to both). [sorry if Wired is not the correct term, that is what I was assigned to do… so I am asking here].

dare I ask why you can't use libpq or another existing language binding
? writing a custom binding ties you down to a lifetime of tracking
version updates...

if you really must, start here,
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/protocol.html

then look at the source to libpq, and/or pg-jdbc, and/or PyGreSQL and/or
Psycopg to work out implementation details.
