Welcome to libpqxx, a C++ API to the PostgreSQL database management
|
||
|
|
system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are many similar libraries for PostgreSQL and for other
|
||
|
|
databases, some of them database-independent. Most of these, however,
|
||
|
|
are fairly C-like in their programming style, and fail to take
|
||
|
|
advantage of the full power of the C++ language as it has matured
|
||
|
|
since the acceptance of the Standard in 1996. What libpqxx brings you
|
||
|
|
is effective use of templates to reduce the inconvenience of dealing
|
||
|
|
with type conversions; of standard C++ strings to keep you from having
|
||
|
|
to worry about buffer allocation and overflow attacks; of exceptions
|
||
|
|
to take the tedious and error-prone plumbing around error handling out
|
||
|
|
of your hands; of constructors and destructors to bring resource
|
||
|
|
management under control; and even basic object-orientation to give
|
||
|
|
you some extra reliability features that would be hard to get with
|
||
|
|
most other database interfaces.
