Hi Peter, thanks for the quick reply.
Well this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/libpq-exec.html
starts by saying
"the functions described here are used to perform SQL queries and commands"
and continues
"PQexecParams is like PQexec but offers additional functionality"
I don't see any suggestion that there are only some commands that can
use PQexecParams while others are limited to using PQexec.
But rather than discus the documentation, can we first establish for
certain whether I may use $n in a create view command, or whether I
have to go back to converting from C types to strings and escaping
them? It's a shame if I do have to do that, as changing over to binary
parameters had simplified a lot of my code.
Regards,
Phil.
