Sorry for the delay but looks like there's some data coming in.  It also 
looks like my kit is starting to be a little dated.  My stored libpq 
calls are failing.  I'm getting this message:

ERROR:  record type has not been registered
From PQerrorMessage() on line 41 from this bit of code:

        /* Create the query and execute it. */        sprintf(stmt, "SELECT * FROM order_status(%d, %d, %d, '%s')",
          data->c_id, data->c_w_id, data->c_d_id, data->c_last);        res = PQexec(dbc->conn, stmt);        if (!res
||(PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK &&                PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_TUPLES_OK)) {
LOG_ERROR_MESSAGE("%s",PQerrorMessage(dbc->conn));                PQclear(res);                return ERROR;        }
 

LOG_ERROR_MESSAGE() is just a macro for a function that does a printf().

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
