you have several options:
*) encode the memory for the structure PQescapeStringConn and send to
PQexec (my least favorite method)
*) set up a call to PQexecParams (more work, but faster and no escaping)
*) make a composite type on the server and send your structure in a
more classical SQL way
*) use libpqtypes (this is the most set up work, but the best in the
long run) :-)

w/libpqtypes:
PGbytea b = {sizeof(s), &s};
PGresult *res = PQexecf(conn, "insert into t values (%bytea)", b);
PQclear(res);
