I don't think so. You're free to write one though...

It's called 'oid' and you can retrieve it only by explicitly mentioning
it:
SELECT oid,* FROM t1;

I'm new to this list so hello everybody!
The questions:
1) Is there (or is anybody working on) a Borland Delphi TDataset to
provide native access to Postgres databases?
I don't mean using odbc, but directly the Postgres client API.
2) I've got a little confused about Postgres docs talking about
something that I understand as an unique row id (sorry, I'm familiar
with Oracle terms).
Is there such a "rowid"? Is it possible to retrieve it without
explicitely being referred in the sql query?
Excuse my poor English, hope you understand anyway O:)
greetings

I was browsing a Delphi share site and found a product for sale that
interfaces to postgres without the BDE! If I can find the link again I
will let you know.

If you want native access from pascal, go to the FPC site
(que chico es el mundo, Nico, eh ?)

Hello,

That's my intention, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel :)

So I'll have to parse SQL to include or require the user to do it in
order to be able to write back.
Thank you!

I'll check it now. The name suggests odbc, though :-??

¡Un pañuelo! :-)
I intended to use Michael's headers translation. It'll be easy to
adjust it to compile with Delphi. I haven't asked, but I suppose that
pqlib interface is identical in Windows as in Linux.
The rest is just a matter of time...
