Based on the original work by William Wanders (wwanders@sci.kun.nl)
and Jolly Chen (jolly@cs.berkeley.edu), this is the first set of
changes to libpq++ since ~1997. Pgenv has been removed, deprecated
functions removed and/or updated and error handling rewritten,
however for the most part it remains as a wrapper around libpq.
The documentation on libpq is recommended reading to understand
the function of libpq++.
The API provided herein is subject to change in later versions of
PostgreSQL.
For details on how to to use libpq++, see the man page in the man/
subdirectory and the test programs in the examples/ subdirectory.
** PgConnection has been changed to accept either the environment
variables or conninfo style strings. See the PQconnectdb in the
documentation on libpq for details.
libpq++ has only been tested with g++, version 2.7.2.1
