I am porting code from Red Hat Linux to Windows 2000 and can not connect to a
my database using libpq++.
I have installed CygIPC and PostgreSQL as Services on my Windows 2000 PC.
I have created a database (called mediadb).
I have added tables to the database.
I have added data to the tables.
I can access the database using psql from a Cygwin Bash Shell (e.g.):
$psql -q -d mediadb -U mediadbuser
mediadb=# select count(*) from guide_programinfo; count------- 24532(1 row)
I can not access the database from my application using libpq++ (CONNECTION_BAD):
#include <stdio.h>#include <iostream>#include <string>#include "libpq++\pgdatabase.h"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ PgDatabase myDB("dbname=mediadb user=mediadbuser");
if ( myDB.ConnectionBad() ) {
>>> cout << "Failed to open <dbname=mediadb user=mediadbuser>" << endl; } else { cout <<
"Opened<dbname=mediadb user=mediadbuser>" << endl; }
return 0;}
I am using standard (unmodified) configuration files:
C:\cygwin\usr\share\postgresql\data\pg_hba.confC:\cygwin\usr\share\postgresql\data\postgresql.conf...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
