access Postgres through MFC with libpqxx or OLE DB?

Hi Experts,

In accessing Postgres with an MFC app, should I choose the libpqxx driver or the OLE DB driver?

Thanks for your opinion!

With object oriented inheritance can't you do both ? Overwrite methods that need to use libpq to get performance.

It all depends if your code needs to be ported to SQL Server.

Right now I don't care about speed. I thought I rounded it down to the 2 drivers that I *should* choose from for C++ (MFC app), but I just want to make my life as easy as possible. I want the best c++ driver I can find that allows me to use nice objects and get results from queries. I'm not sure that OLE DB is right for me... I was hoping for something simpler. Any idea?
