This surely looks like a bug. See several code examples in the last half of the "Using Host Variables" documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/ecpg-variables.html Here's a complete example with code pasted from the documentation: % cat foo.pgc int main(void) { EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int v1; VARCHAR v2; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; return 0; } % ecpg foo.pgc foo.pgc:5: ERROR: pointer to varchar are not implemented Is that a documentation bug or a code bug? -- Michael Fuhr
