Hi Rey,
If you give QT4 a try I might be able to help you there ;-)

Hello,
I'm thinking of making a program in C++ (API) that will connect,
read, and write to a PostgreSQL database. I honestly have no idea
where to start and how to implement it in C++ using Dev C++ IDE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Rhey

The best C++ library I came across so far is SOCI: http://soci.sourceforge.net/ Maybe this could be a good starting point for Ramon since he is familiar with C++.

Re: [GENERAL] c++ program to connect to postgre database
I'm a big libpqxx user, and can confirm that it's a great wrapper, but good luck getting it to build in Dev-c++, which hasn't had a new release in 4 years and isn't supported by pqxx. I'm not sure of the specifics, but Dev-c++ uses a MinGW port of GCC. libpqxx does support MinGW, but probably not the Dev-C++ flavour. I suggest you download visual studio 2008 express, and use that to build libpqxx. No one uses Dev-C++ anymore anyway.
