Thread: NOTICE-messages in C++

Hi postgreSQL'ers,
How can I catch NOTICE messages from the backend using C++.
I am sending the query "show DateStyle".
The logs show the NOTICES message being returned by the backend.
But I cannot retrieve the message into the C++ code.
I am using the PQ++ libraries.
Thanx,
Colin

There is a provision in libpq to let the application install its own
callback routine for handling NOTICE messages.  But AFAIR, libpq++
doesn't expose that libpq feature :-(.  Feel free to contribute a fix.

            regards, tom lane

I never used libpq++ but I know how it's done with libpq. Just look into
file src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/connect.c function ECPGconnect to see how to
install your own notice handler. To be honest, I did not write the code my
self, but Christof Petig <christof.petig@wtal.de> did. :-)
