If you're working in C++ (as opposed to C, which I for one thought you
were using) then it's really easy. As one example of the C++ API, if you
have a result set "data" and you want to extract an integer value at row
r, column c:
int x = data[r][c].as<int>();
See http://pqxx.org/ for more on the C++ API.
