 just a quick question . Is there any way to call psql commands such as
"\i somefile.txt" through libpq/libpq++.This is so i can execute a bunch
of queries from a file. eg for creating tables.

No, but you could extract the relevant code from psql and isolate it
into a library. While you're at it, contribute it back as a repackaged
