getting out boolean value from PQgetValue function
Hello all,
I am using pg advisory locks in my application using libpq. When lock is
obtained, the result set contains boolean value for the row locked in result
set.
When i iterate over the result set, i am unable to get the return boolean
value in my code. The ptr returned by PQGetValue is valid, but contains
nothing. why is it so?
do i need to use ntohl to convert / see the proper binary value?
Please reply me regarding this.
thanks a lot,
Arunachalam.

Did you check PQgetisnull()? IIRC PQgetvalue() will return a
zero-length string for a null field.
