This chapter describes the embedded SQL package for PostgreSQL . It was written by Linus Tolke ( ) and Michael Meskes ( ). Originally it was written to work with C . It also works with C++ , but it does not recognize all C++ constructs yet.

This documentation is quite incomplete. But since this interface is standardized, additional information can be found in many resources about SQL.
