Testing libpqxx, the C++ wrapper for libpq, the PostgreSQL C API.

You should start out with http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/client-authentication.html ("Client Authentication") to configure the DB first.

I can connect to the db using the supplied gui tool. This test program just establishes whether you have the statically linked library working (I compiled the program, which uses the static library which I also compiled). It's just a test.

So what is the code for the test tool?

Thats very useful clockwatcher, thanks. One other thing. I cannot get libpq to compile a debug version, just a release, so I've copied the release folder, renamed it debug and appended a "d" to each of the dlls/libs. This is a sleazy hack that I'd rather do without.

The libpqxx documentation advises that if you cannot build a debug, change the common file so that it points to release as release and release as debug. However, it looks for the actual debug folder anyway at some point (as appose to looking for the folder I *told* it was the debug folder, release), so this peice of advice wasn't very well thought through. How can I build the debug to satisfy this requirement properly? I've built the release in the standard way, "nmake /f win32.mak" as outlined in http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/x19700.html .

Thanks Again,

Clockwatcher,

I've decided to make this a seperate question, for the sake of clarity for others who may read these posts a later time: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22751602/Getting-PostgreSQL's-C-API-libpq-to-compile-release-and-debug-versions.html

Thanks
