Ditto.

There's also this modern C++ libpq wrapper, announced on this list
earlier this year:
https://github.com/dmitigr/pgfe

PS: Haven't used it. but followed it's development (to inform my own
non-OSS C++ wrapper dev), and it looked solid from a distance.
PPS: I think we tried libpqxx in the past, and I kinda remember it
forced you into non-binary mode, which was a non-started for
performance.
