I am new to this list, forgive me if I do something wrong. I am writing an application in C++ for Linux to post data to a PostgreSQL server. Can I make direct calls to PostgreSQL server? I have a lot of data to post to the local PostgreSQL server. I am wondering if I can connect directly to it to post data so I can by pass the extra layers of command -> SQL text string -> port -> SQL interpreter -> internal DB command I would like to go command -> lib function call -> internal DB command All I can find is examples of how to make long text strings of SQL commands then pass them to a local port then on into the server. Is this the only way? -- Roy Souther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01100010 10101110 11000110 11010110 00000100 10110010 10010110 11000110 01001110 11110110 11001110 00010110 10010110 00101110 10000100 10000100 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
