You don't mention if you are using ODBC or a direction connection to the
pgsql library. I'll assume the latter. I did a Google search for
"postgresql visual c" and found this example:

If you are just starting with PostgreSQL, you might as well start with
the latest version. You can get 9.2.3 from the web site
(http://www.postgresql.org/).

I worked upon this link you sent. It ends up giving error "This applcation
can not start because SSLEAY32.dll is missing." I want to connect in any
form whether it is ODBC or direct. If you know then please help me. I am
stuck here. Thank you

Use something more recent than 8.4 if you can.

You should be able to use the C API (libpq) from C++.
That's part of PostgreSQL core.

Alternatively, you can use the C++ connector libpqxx
(http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/)

is this app using the .net framework ? if so, you might want to use
the .net postgresql database connector,
http://npgsql.projects.pgfoundry.org/

if you're NOT using .net then you probably do NOT want to use that
stuff. and should stick with either the libpq C bindings, or the libpqxx
C++ wrapper.

No It is not using .NET framework. I tried with libpq but ended up with
error that "Application can not run because SSLEAY32.dll is missing"
(something like this). So I left that thing. Have you used libpq?
Thanks

ssleay32.dll is part of the PostgreSQL distribution, and is installed in
the /bin/ directory. Since you are getting that error for ssleay32.dll
and not for libpq.dll, I assume you copied libpq.dll somewhere. Copy
ssleay32.dll to the same place.

You will probably get similar errors for other DLLs; all of them are
likely to be in the PostgreSQL /bin/ directory.

As an alternative, you can just add that directory to your %PATH% variable.

So why don't you copy ssleay32.dll along with libpq.dll?
