Question about how to handle numeric (decimal) data types while using libpq

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am trying to use libpq for interfacing with PostgreSQL from a C/C++ based application.

I have tried to use binary format of data for both sending and receiving data to and from server (resultFormat = 1).

As I understand most binary types, int, float etc… are encoded in bing-endian byte order and they can be converted to appropriate host specific memory representations.

However NUMERIC datatype is a more complex structure with multiple ints and pointers.

I would like to know if there are published library functions that convert (to and from) NUMERIC field to say, long double datatype


Any pointers in this regard is appreciated.

Regards,
Sudheer
