I have solved the problem by mapping a character array
into integer array:

  struct data   {
    int id;
    char a[100];
  } temp;
After getting temp from exec sql select ....., I use
strtol() to convert temp.a into a integer array, and 
it works! I now have another problem that is I can get

the tuples by sqlca.sqlerrd[2], but how can I get the
type of each field that has been selected? In libpq++
FieldType(n) can get the type of field, how about in 
ecpg?

  Thanks
