1. 简介
习惯了C++来开发的人，可能更倾向于使用c++库来访问PostgreSQL。libpqxx很早以前就推出了。目前已经到了4.0版。本文就简单的介绍如何使用它，，Linux平台编译相对简单，这里就介绍一下Windows平台下的使用。
libpqxx的下载地址：直接上这里
由于libpqxx对libpq的C-API进行了很好的封装，从而可以节省大量的编码时间。
2. 编译过程
将libpqxx解压到一固定目录。你需要提前编译好或安装好的客户端库，通常为了方便，这里假定你已经有一个PG的安装版或者解压缩版，在c:\pgsql里头。以PG9.x为例。
1. 进入libpqxx源码目录，备份并修改win32\common文件，将PGSQLSRC的值指向正确的地方：
这里是PGSQLSRC="c:\pgsql"
后边还有很多目录位置需要调整，针对我们这种情况，通常都是保留安装版本的设置，如：LIBPQINC=$(PGSQLSRC)\include, 而注释掉#LIBPQINC=$(PGSQLSRC)\interfaces\libpq, 其它几个值都如此类推。
2. 拷贝一些编译相关的头文件
针对具体版本，9.0的，将config\sample-headers\libpq\9.0\pqxx复制到include下边
针对VS2008的，将config\sample-headers\compiler\VisualStudio2008\pqxx复制到include目录下边, 如果是VS2005，以此类推。
3. 编译
program files->VS2008-->Visual studio tools->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt, 进入命令行， 在此进入libpqxx的源代码根目录，执行：
nmake /f win32\vc-libpqxx.mak ALL,
得到如下中间过程:

下边来看看最简单的示例：
iihero=# create user foo password 'foo1';
CREATE ROLE
[sql] view plaincopyprint?
iihero=> create table t(id int primary key, col2 varchar(32));
注意: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY 将要为表 "t" 创建隐含索引 "t_pkey"
CREATE TABLE
iihero=> \encoding
GBK
iihero=> insert into t values(1 ,'不同类型的列表');
INSERT 0 1
iihero=> select * from t;
id | col2
----+----------------
1 | 不同类型的列表
(1 行记录)
iihero=> create table t(id int primary key, col2 varchar(32));
注意: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY 将要为表 "t" 创建隐含索引 "t_pkey"
CREATE TABLE
iihero=> \encoding
GBK
iihero=> insert into t values(1 ,'不同类型的列表');
INSERT 0 1
iihero=> select * from t;
id | col2
----+----------------
1 | 不同类型的列表
(1 行记录)
将编译出来后的include, lib目录提取到固定的目录，与你原来的postgresql的include和lib目录，可以合到一起。给开发使用。
下边是一个最简单的示例：
[cpp] view plaincopyprint?
#include <iostream>
<p>#include <pqxx></pqxx></p>
<p>int main()</p>
<p>{</p>
<p>pqxx::connection conn("dbname=iihero hostaddr=127.0.0.1 user=foo password=foo1" );</p>
<p>if(conn.is_open())</p>
<p>{</p>
<p>std::cout
</p>
<p>std::cout
</p>
<p>}</p>
<p>else</p>
<p>{</p>
<p>std::cout
</p>
<p>}</p>
<p>pqxx::work w(conn);</p>
<p>pqxx::result res = w.exec("SELECT 1");</p>
<p>w.commit();</p>
<p>std::cout ()
</p>
<p>}</p>
<p></p></iostream>
