Please excuse my ignorance-

I'm about to start writing code to access Pgsql both command line and via 
a CGI app.

What is the differance between calling to the backend and using a front 
end library?  Is there a differance?  And what do I want to do in a 
command line application and with a CGI application?

In other words what include files do you use for the two seperate 
situations?

Thanks
Michael Ledford
