Thanks a lot for your always prompt and professional help!

I must have made the unforgivable mistake - miss using temporary, like
so:

std::ostringstream oss1,oss2;
oss1 << 5;
oss2 << 6;
const char *pValues[]={oss1.str().c_str(),oss2.str().c_str()};
PGresult *r=PQexecParams(conn,"SELECT c3 FROM t1 WHERE c1=$1 AND
c2=$2",2,NULL,pValues,NULL,NULL,1);

Humm... Maybe it is my compiler's issue. Maybe I should take a break
now.

Anyway, the error seems to be gone with the following slightly modified
version:

std::ostringstream oss1,oss2;
oss1 << 5;
oss2 << 6;
std::string s1(oss1.str()),s2(oss2.str());
const char *pValues[]={s1.c_str(),s2.c_str()};
PGresult *r=PQexecParams(conn,"SELECT c3 FROM t1 WHERE c1=$1 AND
c2=$2",2,NULL,pValues,NULL,NULL,1);

Best Regards,
CN
