You probably would have better results from specifying the composite
type explicitly in the query:
PQexecParams("insert into sometable values($1::composite, ...);",
I gather from the complaint that you're currently doing something that
causes the Param to be typed as a generic "record", which is problematic
since the record's details are not available from anyplace. But if you
cast it directly to a named composite type, that should work.
If it still doesn't work, please provide a more concrete example.
