Hi guys

Is there some sort of C API available for PostgreSQL?

Cheers

For C you can use libpq.  For C++, see libpqxx in gborg.org (or did it
move to pgfoundry.org?)

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to get simple (or more advanced ) system
information from the database about the server.  Free disk space, Memory
usage, CPU usage.  And any other  health of system information in general.
I have done some archive searching but not turned up very much. This is
Postgres 8.x on Windows 2000

Thanks in advance,

Oisin

Jeff,

Yes, libpq. Look at the 27th chapter in the manual.

Yes, there is a C API available for PostgreSQL.  It is called libpq.

Was there some particular reason why you could not find it in the
documentation?  It has an entire chapter devoted to it in the
documentation tree...

I'm quite happy with libpqxx.
