Hi Roboloki,
Each new version of pg releases in mid-October … and pg11 came out on Oct 18, 2018 (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/release-11.html) … so each current version of PostgreSQL is only current for about a year … though support continues for several years for each version.
In general, libpqxx and similar libraries for other languages are not very sensitive to the version running on the server but instead implement parts of the PostgreSQL protocol that aren’t changing … its not where the innovation typically is anyway. What changes is these libraries from version to version is typically the C++ - facing API.
As for libpqxx, unless you need a feature in 7.0, my instinct would be to go with the most recent stable release (6.4.4) and watch out for deprecation warnings.

Hi all-
I decided to look around. 11.0 got released 2 years ago. I decided to go with 11.x postgresql with 7.0 libpqxx. The stable branch came out around same time as 11.0 so I will go with probably 11.3 and 7.0.
Thnx. Roboloki

Hi all
I installed 12.0 development branch on postgresql with mingw. It is too new to use with libpqxx. Anyone have a recent version of postgresql working with libpqxx? What is a good version?
Thnx roboloki

I’m an R user … I could be completely wrong about libpqxx release is stable … I was referencing this: https://github.com/jtv/libpqxx/releases
