I'm making a query to return an int and a bytea as two columns in my

res = PQexecParams(conn,q,0,0,0,0,0,1)
I can view the binary data just fine, but not the int. How do I do
that?
The pointer that PQgetvalue() returns should point to the integer
value in network byte order. Unless somebody suggests a better
way, you could cast PQgetvalue()'s return value to int * and
dereference it, or otherwise copy the data into an integer variable.
Use ntohl() to convert the value from network byte order to host
byte order (ntohl() and htonl() are null operations on big-endian
architectures, but it's a good idea to use them in any case for
portability and so you don't have to worry about such hardware
details).
The following example works for me (error and NULL checking omitted):
res = PQexecParams(conn, "SELECT 123456::integer", 0, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, 1);
ival = ntohl(*(int *)PQgetvalue(res, 0, 0));
