Probably: int PQversion(const PGconn *conn) would be better, and easier to parse? For example the value returned for 7.3.1 would be 7003001; for 7.4 7004000; for 101.10.2 101010002. This allows simple numerical tests... Lee. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
