Hi,
The mail archive seems messed up when I search for this info.
I'm trying to use ecpg to connect to postgres
I've never used embedded sql in C though years ago I did use Pro*FORTRAN
for Oracle. Anyway how do I connect to a remote or local database in ecgs
passing in the database name, username, and password. The test programs
in the tarball don't seem to do this.
I tried looking in the preproc.y filebut I don't understand it's format.

Good. :-)

The following is accepted syntax:
exec sql connect to <database name> [as <connection name>] [user <user name>]
exec sql connect to default
exec sql <user name>
As for the database name you can choose two different sets of syntax:
new style:
<tcp|unix>:postgresql://server[:port][/dbname][?options]
old style:
style: dbname[@server][:port]
Finally the user name can be written as:
<user>
<user>/<password>
<user> identified by <password>
<user> using <password>
Hope this helps.
Michael

Very Good. Impressive package. It's handled everything I've thrown at it
without complaints. I couldn't get the whenever not found goto label: to
parse but was able to get around it with a break. I'm willing to bet it
was a "it's late and I'm tired" error on my part so I'll try again later.
Do you have any docs on the supported functions. I've been trying to use
a Pro*C on-line manual but the differences keep tripping me up. I'm
interested in the actions to whenever sqlerror. I tried to look in the
preproc.y file but I have no idea what I'm looking at. I saw a DO and a
CALL but can't find out what they mean.
Also, does ecpg support any form of dynamic SQL? If not, can ecpg coexist
with libpg code in the same function?
TIA
