Based on the original work by William Wanders (wwanders@sci.kun.nl) and Jolly Chen (jolly@cs.berkeley.edu), this is the first set of changes to libpq++ since ~1997. Pgenv has been removed, deprecated functions removed and/or updated and error handling rewritten, however for the most part it remains as a wrapper around libpq. The documentation on libpq is recommended reading to understand the function of libpq++. The API provided herein is subject to change in later versions of PostgreSQL. For details on how to to use libpq++, see the man page in the man/ subdirectory and the test programs in the examples/ subdirectory. ** PgConnection has been changed to accept either the environment variables or conninfo style strings. See the PQconnectdb in the documentation on libpq for details. libpq++ has only been tested with g++, version 2.7.2.1 Vince Vielhaber (vev@michvhf.com) Tue May 18 08:30:00 EDT 1999
