ive been trying to connect my c program and a postgre database using VC++. but i cant compile it because it cant find "postgres_fe.h". and also i cant find any tutorials about this one too. When i searched google, most are for linux. if anyone here knows some links to a site pls post here. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you allowed to use third party API's in your project? If so, then try using sqlapi, a C++ library for connecting to SQL databases.

as much as posible i shouldnt use third party. but if i cant use the standard il have to use third party as last resource.

thanks for the reply

one more question .

sqlapi is a wrapper of libpq of postgres how can i use sqlapi if libpq also does not exist in my machine.

Member Avatar for ~s.o.s~

Ah, scrap the sqlapi, it just offers a trial version unless you order it, so I guess it is out.

The only option left with you is to download the API provided by PostgreSQL instead. This page is your last hope.
