Thread: C program Postgres 6.3 and date
Hello, first thing of note is that I'm not on the list so please email solutions to me.I recently upgraded postgres from version ~6 to 6.3. Unfortunately, where before I had everything passed back as text strings now things are being passed back in their binary form. My question is How is the postgres date type stored in C?Is it an integer in seconds from a specific date?How would I convert it to a textstring of the form 05-21-1998?(When I print it as an integer I get 841823536)Before I received that text string as aresult of the PQgetvalue now I am getting the binary form and I can't find a reference on how to convert back.
