Exec Sends a query to the backend server. It's probably more desirable to use one of the next two functions.
ExecStatusType PgConnection::Exec(const char* query)
Returns the result of the query. The following status results can be expected:
| PGRES_EMPTY_QUERY |
| PGRES_COMMAND_OK, if the query was a command |
| PGRES_TUPLES_OK, if the query successfully returned tuples |
| PGRES_COPY_OUT |
| PGRES_COPY_IN |
| PGRES_BAD_RESPONSE, if an unexpected response was received |
| PGRES_NONFATAL_ERROR |
| PGRES_FATAL_ERROR |
ExecCommandOk Sends a command query to the backend server.
int PgConnection::ExecCommandOk(const char *query)
Returns TRUE if the command query succeeds.
ExecTuplesOk Sends a command query to the backend server.
int PgConnection::ExecTuplesOk(const char *query)
Returns TRUE if the command query succeeds.
ErrorMessage Returns the last error message text.
const char *PgConnection::ErrorMessage()
Tuples Returns the number of tuples (instances) in the query result.
int PgDatabase::Tuples()
Fields Returns the number of fields (attributes) in each tuple of the query result.
int PgDatabase::Fields()
FieldName Returns the field (attribute) name associated with the given field index. Field indices start at 0.
const char *PgDatabase::FieldName(int field_num)
FieldNum PQfnumber Returns the field (attribute) index associated with the given field name.
int PgDatabase::FieldNum(const char* field_name)
-1 is returned if the given name does not match any field.
FieldType Returns the field type associated with the given field index. The integer returned is an internal coding of the type. Field indices start at 0.
Oid PgDatabase::FieldType(int field_num)
FieldType Returns the field type associated with the given field name. The integer returned is an internal coding of the type. Field indices start at 0.
Oid PgDatabase::FieldType(const char* field_name)
FieldSize Returns the size in bytes of the field associated with the given field index. Field indices start at 0.
short PgDatabase::FieldSize(int field_num)
Returns the space allocated for this field in a database tuple given
the field number. In other words the size of the server's binary
representation of the data type. -1 is returned if the field is
variable size.
FieldSize Returns the size in bytes of the field associated with the given field index. Field indices start at 0.
short PgDatabase::FieldSize(const char *field_name)
Returns the space allocated for this field in a database tuple given
the field name. In other words the size of the server's binary
representation of the data type. -1 is returned if the field is
variable size.
GetValue Returns a single field (attribute) value of one tuple of a PGresult. Tuple and field indices start at 0.
const char *PgDatabase::GetValue(int tup_num, int field_num)
For most queries, the value returned by GetValue is a null-terminated
ASCII string representation of the attribute value. But if BinaryTuples()
is TRUE, the value returned by GetValue is the binary representation
of the type in the internal format of the backend server (but not including
the size word, if the field is variable-length). It is then the programmer's
responsibility to cast and convert the data to the correct C type. The
pointer returned by GetValue points to storage that is part of the
PGresult structure. One should not modify it, and one must explicitly
copy the value into other storage if it is to be used past the lifetime
of the PGresult structure itself. BinaryTuples() is not yet implemented.

ASCII string representation of the attribute value. But if BinaryTuples()

GetLength Returns the length of a field (attribute) in bytes. Tuple and field indices start at 0.
int PgDatabase::GetLength(int tup_num, int field_num)
This is the actual data length for the particular data value, that
is the size of the object pointed to by GetValue. Note that for
ASCII-represented values, this size has little to do with the binary
size reported by PQfsize.

DisplayTuples Prints out all the tuples and, optionally, the attribute names to the specified output stream.

const char* fieldSep = "|",int printHeader = 1, int quiet = 0)
PrintTuples Prints out all the tuples and, optionally, the attribute names to the specified output stream.
