But the method that libpq has for returning data is, I believe, much
more friendly than other DBMS's. Try using Oracle's SQLDA, it's a lot
more complicated. Although once setup it works well.

Nope, those are input values only. Maybe you should be looking at ecpg
--- "bound variables" is an idea completely foreign to libpq.
