How to connect via C++?

From

Hello,
 
I typically write applications in PHP, but know also a bit of C++.
There's a task I want to do with C++, it also includes reading from and writing to a PostgreSQL database.
 
How do I do that on C++?
 
What libraries are?
Compilers?
...where to start?
 
I am on FreeBSD.
 

Sincerely,

Use either libpq++ (C++ library), or if you're into that kind of thing, use
the C library libpq directly.  In the latter case of course, remember to 
include the headers in extern "C" blocks as usual.  Either way you'll probably
have to look through the libpq documentation.

Whatever works.  Try g++.
