*oops* heh-heh.
Do _this_:
char query[LOTS_OF_ROOM];
sprintf(query, "INSERT INTO octects VALUES(%d)", a);
PQexec(conn, query);
and read up etc..
-or- download my libpq wrapper, which allows you to perform queries without
using a temporary char array, in a manner similar to printf(). Available via
anon ftp from
brainkarma.dyndns.org/pub/dblib/
Note: it's very alpha right now and possibly quite messy as it's still under
development - works though :)

the software identified Windows NT itself as a virus and disabled it.
