Hi,
I am trying to convince my boss to allow me to user postgres and pqxx on
linux as the platform for creating a new application for the health
industry. In doing this I am exploring the libpqxx library and have come to
a stumbling block that I think is just my understanding of the library. I
will list the scene below:
I am currently trying to change the value of an inout parameter inside a
function and read its changed value but am having trouble.
I was wondering whether you could look at my code and help me out?
The problem is that the value never changes. I have listed the function code
below as well as the libqxx c++ source.

Here is the postgres function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.insert_gperson (
INOUT id integer
)
AS
$$
begin
/* Get the Next Person ID */
id = nextval('"testing_seq"'::regclass);
/* Insert the record */
insert into "GPerson" ( "GPersonID", "DOB" ) values ( id, Now());
end $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
VOLATILE
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
SECURITY INVOKER;
Here is the c++ source code:
// Create the SQL Query
// string query = "exec insert_gperson($1)";
string query = "select insert_gperson($1)";
string queryname = "insert_gperson";
// Prepare the differing parameters
// Prepare the statement
C.prepare(queryname, query)
("integer", pqxx::prepare::treat_direct);
// Create a new Transaction
cout << "Creating Query...\n";
work *t;
t = new work(C, queryname);
// create the return id;
int id = 0;
// Set the prepare statement
cout << "Preparing statement....\n";
t->prepared(queryname)(id).exec();
// Commit the transaction
cout << "Commiting .... \n";
t->commit();
// Delete the transaction
delete t;
// Unprepare the Command
C.unprepare(queryname);
// debug the new gperson id
cout << "New GPersonID = [" << id << "]\n";
