Isn't it? :) Your query is actually a string. This is your string: INSERT into table values(a,b,c,d)   You must change your string to actually use values of tha a, b... You can make this string with sprintf sprintf(string, "INSERT into table values(%d,%d,%d,%d)", a, b, c, d);   Then you launch: res=PQexecute(Conn, string);   Why don't you use PHP? Is easier.   Have a nice day ----- Original Message ----- From: MUKTA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 15:08 Subject: [SQL] Hi I have an urgent problem I want to insert values into a table using the C syscalls provided by the libpq library, but i find that i can not insert into the table when i use variables instead of values...like so: int a,b,c,d; using the C function   res=PQexecute(Conn,"INSERT into table values(a,b,c,d));....   executing above statement with plain integers does fine and inserts them into table..   Is there some special way to insert variables rather than plain values? do i have to build functions (in sql) or somehting?help! Thanx
