My feeling is that if you want to create a new API, don't.  Instead
immitate an existing one.  For you ambitions you could either take the C++
API of another RDBMS product, try to shoehorn the SQL CLI onto C++, write
a C++ version of JDBC, or something of that nature.  Designing a complete
and good API from scratch is a really painful job when done well, and
given that the market for C++ combined with PostgreSQL traditionally
hasn't exactly been huge you need all the head starts you can get.
