Maxime,

Thank for your answer. This is *useful* information indeed!.

IMHO, given a more complete example (like mentioning the #includes of the necessary headers and perhaps showing how to deal with one or more of the primitives (points, linestrings, etc) ) this information *should* make part of the 5th chapter PostGIS Manual!

BR,
Pedro.

How does one deal with Postgis geom fields in C++ ?
Google hasn't offered much help so far.
Hi, I know you got a better answer to your problem but just in case it
might help someone here is how I transfer data from postgis to libpq / C++ :

{
   pqxx::connection db("host=.... dbname=... user=...");
   pqxx::work xaction(db, "gis");

   const pqxx::result&  res = xaction.exec("SELECT geom FROM sometable;");

   // by default, geom is in WKB
   std::istringstream istr(res[0].c_str());
   geos::geom::GeometryFactory factory;
   geos::io::WKBReader wkbr(factory);
   geos::geom::Geometry* geom = wkbr.readHEX(istr);

   // use geom.
   std::cout<<  "geom is a "<<  geom->getGeometryType()<<  std::endl;

   delete geom;
}
