Re: really in neeed of help...queston about libpxx

libpqxx is a c++ wrapper on top of the c client library which gets installed 
along with the database itself.  So, the libpqxx functions call the c 
functions, but provides an object oriented interface to those functions.  For 
example, there is a connection object, transaction object... The configure 
script you run when preparing to compile libpqxx checks for (on this install) 
/usr/local/lib/pgsql/libpq.so, and then links against -lpq

the download has good tests which are demo programs.  They are compiled with 
'make test'.  I got pretty far with using the demos.  

The documentation for libpqxx is sometimes a duplication of the postgresql C 
documentation.  Like, the connection constructor takes the same arguments, the 
environment variables are the same, etc.
