I am desparate to find a way to access array elements from my c/c++
program. I have stored int and double data as arrays in my tables and need
to retrieve them from the database. I use a binary cursor to store the
query results and PQgetvalue gives me a char* pointer to the storage area
where the data is stored (this is according to the documentation). I have
tried to understand the internal structure of the storage area, but it
changes with data type. I suspect there is a more reliable/elegant way to
get access to the elements. What is the correct way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.
