Re: Postgesql lib

Hello,

 Yes, you was right about VARDATA (working code below, maybe it will help
others), the problem was that I could not find documentation for VARDATA,
maybe you can point to it?

 Also, about the
ats = pclose (sendmail);
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P( ats );

Yes, ats is integer, so what is wrong here? actually it is working
normally, or I should know something more?


Code is here:

    text *To, *Subject, *Body;

    To = PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0);

    char *cTo = (char *) calloc(VARSIZE(To) - VARHDRSZ, sizeof(char));
    strncpy(cTo, VARDATA(To), VARSIZE(To)-VARHDRSZ);

and latter:

    fprintf (sendmail, "To: %s\n", cTo);
