c and postgres

[Covinus]

ive been trying to connect my c program and a postgre database using VC++. but i cant compile it because it cant find "postgres_fe.h". and also i cant find any tutorials about this one too. When i searched google, most are for linux. if anyone here knows some links to a site pls post here. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you allowed to use third party API's in your project? If so, then try using sqlapi, a C++ library for connecting to SQL databases.

as much as posible i shouldnt use third party. but if i cant use the standard il have to use third party as last resource.

thanks for the reply

one more question .

sqlapi is a wrapper of libpq of postgres how can i use sqlapi if libpq also does not exist in my machine.

[~s.o.s~]

Ah, scrap the sqlapi, it just offers a trial version unless you order it, so I guess it is out.

The only option left with you is to download the API provided by PostgreSQL instead. This page is your last hope.

Have you read the postgresql docs?
