Hello,

attached is a simple ESQL/C code; if it is not passing the mailing-list,
the code is also here: http://www.unixarea.de/embedded.pgc and this is
its output together with the ESQL/C error log file and SQL examples:

psql -Usisis -dsisis 
psql (11.4)
Geben Sie »help« für Hilfe ein.

sisis=# \d dbctest
                        Tabelle »public.dbctest«
  Spalte   |      Typ      | Sortierfolge | NULL erlaubt? | Vorgabewert
-----------+---------------+--------------+---------------+-------------
 tstchar25 | character(25) |              |               |
 tstint    | integer       |              |               |
Indexe:
    "i_tstint" UNIQUE, btree (tstint)

sisis=# select * from dbctest where tstint = 1;
 tstchar25 | tstint
