C code problem
John Burski <john.burski@911ep.com> — 2001-04-17T13:42:43Z
I'm running PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on a Red Hat 6.1 box and am having a bit of trouble with some C code. I'm able to connect to the database OK (host = localhost, hostaddr = 127.0.0.1, dbname = template1, user = postgres (the superuser), password = whatever), but a PGRES_NONFATAL_ERROR status results from the following query: result = PQexec ( dbc, "SELECT * FROM pg_user" ); If I run the query from an interactive session it works fine. I've other programs that work fine, but none of them connect to "template1" or attempt to access the system tables. Is there some sort of access restriction related to the system tables? Thanks. -- John Burski I.T.

here's some code i wrote for generically dealing with postgres in C --> modify the 'connect' as you see fit -- mine was based on SUID user processing for some daemons we were using void SQLShutdown(PGconn *conn) { PQfinish(conn); } int SQLString(char *is, char *os) { char *ch=is, *ch2=os; while (*ch) { if (*ch == '\'') *ch2++ = '\''; *ch2++ = *ch++; } *ch2 = 0; return(0); } PGconn *SQLConnect(void) { PGconn *conn; char *dbName = "", *pghost = NULL, /* host name of the backend server */ *pgport = NULL, /* port of the backend server */ *pgoptions = NULL, /* special options to start up the backend server */ *pgtty = NULL; /* debugging tty for the backend server */ Debugf("SQLConnect()\n"); conn = PQsetdb(pghost, pgport, pgoptions, pgtty, dbName); if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_BAD) { printf("Connection to database '%s' failed.\n", dbName); printf("%s",PQerrorMessage(conn)); return(NULL); } return(conn); } int SQLDisconnect(PGconn *conn) { PQfinish(conn); } PGresult *SQLExecute(PGconn *conn, char *xBuf, int resultOK) { PGresult *res; printf("%s\n", xBuf); res = PQexec(conn, xBuf); if (PQresultStatus(res) != resultOK) { printf("PQresultStatus(res) : %d\n", PQresultStatus(res)); printf("! Command failed\n"); PQclear(res); return(NULL); } else return(res); } PGresult *SQLExecuteQuietly(PGconn *conn, char *xBuf, int resultOK) { PGresult *res; res = PQexec(conn, xBuf); if (PQresultStatus(res) != resultOK) { printf("PQresultStatus(res) : %d\n", PQresultStatus(res)); printf("! Command failed\n"); PQclear(res); return(NULL); } else return(res); } -duck On Tue, 17 Apr 2001, John Burski wrote: > I'm running PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on a Red Hat 6.1 box and am having a bit of > trouble with some C code. > > I'm able to connect to the database OK (host = localhost, hostaddr = > 127.0.0.1, dbname = template1, user = postgres (the superuser), password > = whatever), but a PGRES_NONFATAL_ERROR status results from the > following query: > > result = PQexec ( dbc, "SELECT * FROM pg_user" ); > > If I run the query from an interactive session it works fine.

Thanks for the code. It works great. It looks like there is a definite difference between the way that PQsetdb and PQconnectdb "open" the database connection. Until now I've been using PQconnectdb with no problems. "D.
