1. 简介
习惯了C++来开发的人，可能更倾向于使用c++库来访问PostgreSQL。libpqxx很早以前就推出了。目前已经到了4.0版。本文就简单的介绍如何使用它，Linux平台编译相对简单，这里就介绍一下Windows平台下的使用。

由于libpqxx对libpq的C-API进行了很好的封装，从而可以节省大量的编码时间。
2. 编译过程
将libpqxx解压到一固定目录。你需要提前编译好或安装好的客户端库，通常为了方便，这里假定你已经有一个PG的安装版或者解压缩版，在c:\pgsql里头。以PG9.x为例。
1. 进入libpqxx源码目录，备份并修改win32\common文件，将PGSQLSRC的值指向正确的地方：
这里是PGSQLSRC="c:\pgsql"
后边还有很多目录位置需要调整，针对我们这种情况，通常都是保留安装版本的设置，如：LIBPQINC=$(PGSQLSRC)\include, 而注释掉#LIBPQINC=$(PGSQLSRC)\interfaces\libpq, 其它几个值都如此类推。
2. 拷贝一些编译相关的头文件
针对具体版本，9.0的，将config\sample-headers\libpq\9.0\pqxx复制到include下边
针对VS2008的，将config\sample-headers\compiler\VisualStudio2008\pqxx复制到include目录下边, 如果是VS2005，以此类推。
3. 编译
program files->VS2008-->Visual studio tools->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt, 进入命令行， 在此进入libpqxx的源代码根目录，执行：
nmake /f win32\vc-libpqxx.mak ALL,
得到如下中间过程:
