Also,I see no point in working using ODBC with Postgres if you want to work in C,when libpq is
available.IMHO,it is like adding an extra layer without any purpose,or I may be wrong here.

Also,is it only me,or are we all a bit wary of ODBC? I think JDBC is becoming the standard now(of course,its Java,but
asI said, you should use libpq if you want to write native code for Postgres).
