Hallo List!
I just found this old posting on google. Now my question is how can I read an
integer value from the PGresult using the binary format? Can someone plz
gimme a code example? (please mail to me, because I have not subscribed to
the list)
Thanks a bunch! Now here's the old posting:

Can anyone help put me in the proper mindset so I may deal with this, seemingly simple issue, to resolution.
I need the integer result to to help me satisfy a dynamic memory requirement... COUNT(*) result will tell me how many rows of data I need to malloc and I cannot perform a math operation on a char variable. All libpq results are strings. some_int_value= atoi(PQgetvalue (...))
Not true anymore with protocol v3, which added the binary format. Text format
is still the default.
Anyway why do you need count(*) ? When you retrieve your rows, you can always check how many are them using PQntuples(...) and then malloc your memory tables.

Easy peasy:

// To submit the query
bool PgConn::SendPre pared(const string& name, const vector<const
char*>& values, const vector<int>& lengths, const vector<int>&
isBinary) {
if (values.size() != lengths.size() || values.size() !=
isBinary.size() )
return Error("PgConn:: SendPrepared: All parameter arrays must have
same size");
// for (int i = 0; i != values.size(); i++)
// printf ("Query parameter %d, length %d, binary %d: '%s'\n", i,
lengths[i], (int)isBinary[i], values[i]);
if (! PQsendQueryPrep ared(m_Conn, name.c_str(), values.size(),
&values.front() , &lengths.front( ), &isBinary.front (), 1 /* want binary
result */))
return Error();
return Success();
}
/* ... then after reading the PGresult */
static int NetworkIntFromB uffer(const char* buff) {
// Make a network-byte-ordered integer from the fetched data
const int *network = reinterpret_cas t<const int*>(buff);
// Convert to host (local) byte order and return
int host = ntohl(*network) ;
return host;
}
int PgColumn::GetIn t(int row) {
if (IsNull(row) || row > Rows() || GetLength(row) != 4)
return 0;
return NetworkIntFromB uffer(PQgetvalu e(m_Res, row, m_Col));
}

I'm currently in the process of programming a multimedia tagging library

First of all, is it safe to store binary data in std::string? This
question rose from my implementation with APEv2 tags. An APEv2 tag's field
value can contain either UTF encoded text or binary data. I've decided to
use std::string to represent the field value....

I'm a self instructed amateur attempting to read a huge file from disk... so

Hi
I am an dotNet newby, so pardon my ignorance.
I am looking for a method of saving/copying a managed class to a stream/file

Is serialization the answer to the above problem? If I understand correctly,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
