Driver for working with postgres in c++?

Question

PostgreSQL

How to work with postgres in c++? From what I googled, they offer 2 options libpq++ and libpqxx, I didn’t even find the first one from where to download (source code or package), and generally no information on it, except for one page on the off site
, the second one is a little easier, said the source code, collected it, but how useful it was to look I didn’t understand the documentation, some strange class names, I didn’t find prepared statment.
I think there are people here who use postgres from the pros, what do you use and where can I download it?

Answer 1

The documentation is lame of course, but if you quickly look through all of it, everything will remain clear.
pqxx.org/devprojects/libpqxx/doc/4.0/html/Referenc...

I think that there are obviously more tools for working directly with PostgreSQL, given its widespread use, than you mentioned. Also, besides C++, look among C tools - a). there should be more of them, b). they are more reliable and run-in, c). they are just as applicable from your C++ code.
But there is another option ... I used it once in a project, quite a long time ago:
- install the UNIX ODBC interface for PostgreSQL ...
- work with the standard ODBC API ...
- which is exactly the same for most any database.
Of course, this is not suitable for highly loaded SQL queries if you are going to do serious optimizations, or use PostgreSQL specific features.
But in return you get versatility and portability.
