LIBPQTYPES LIBRARY ------------------ This package contains the source code, documentation and management files for the libpqtypes library, an extension to the PostgreSQL libpq library. libpqtypes is a libpq extension that offers a new way of handling parameterized queries and getting result field values. Both putting parameters and getting values use a printf/scanf style interface, with consistent specifiers for both. - Full support for binary and text format (parameter and result) - Full support for composites, arrays and composite arrays. - printf style interface to libpq's binary parameterized API. - scanf style interface for getting values: PQgetvalue extension. - Ability to register user-defined types, aliases and data type sub-classes for use with printf style interfaces: ex. "%mytype". - Per-thread global error message: PQgeterror, PQseterror. - Online docs as well as man pages. INSTALL libpqtypes cannot be used by itself, it can only be used with libpq. To build and install libpqtypes, see the INSTALL file included with this package. LICENSE libpqtypes is released under the BSD license just like all software components of the PostgreSQL Database Management System. See the LICENSE file included with this package.
