There's also this modern C++ libpq wrapper, announced on this list earlier this year: https://github.com/dmitigr/pgfe PS: Haven't used it. but followed it's development (to inform my own non-OSS C++ wrapper dev), and it looked solid from a distance. PPS: I think we tried libpqxx in the past, and I kinda remember it forced you into non-binary mode, which was a non-started for performance.
