README 23/12/2003 - Harbour Low Level api for Postgres RDBMS
It's to be seem like Harbour TMysql routines.
IMPORTANT
---------
The class TPostgres, only works with versions 7.4.x or greater, because some methods use information_schema and
New PQexecParams, which use protocol 3.0 and this protocol is only compatible with 7.4 versions.
BORLAND BCC
-----------
Using this library with bcc, you will need import library, ex: implib libpq.lib libpq.dll or (advice this) build your own
Postgres Library.
Go to postgres directory \postgresql-7.4.5\src\interfaces\libpq
Edit bcc32.mak and change the default borland directory for your needs. Example: BCB=c:\Borland\Bcc55
change postgresql-7.4.5\src\include\pg_config.h.win32 to pg_config.h
after this
make -f bcc32.mak
Now look at \postgresql-7.4.5\src\interfaces\libpq\Release, you will find the all .libs and .dlls
If want use the dll, link in your aplication blibpqdll.lib and send blibpq.dll together with your aplication
If you don't wanna use .dll link blibpq.lib, that's it.
LINUX GCC
----------
On Linux you will need link libpq or references by pq.
