Re: Database connectivity using a unix shell

Hi,
Before using ECPG, i had a few questions.

Lets say i have a C code and want to do something with my postgres database.

What all header files do i need for ECPG.
Also how and where exactly am i going to write these EXEC SQL statements for
ECPG.
Can I be briefed about the steps to do this.

Regards,
~Jas
