Client Libraries

Access libraries, which allow you to talk the PostgreSQL protocol from your favorite language.

C

libpq

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq.html

The standard access library, used by all the standard PostgreSQL tools. It lets you do almost anything, but is quite low level.

ECPG

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/ecpg.html

SQL embedded in C. Part of the standard PostgreSQL distribution.

C++

libpqxx

http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/

A nice C++ library, with no dependencies other than libpq.

QtSql

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtsql-index.html

A cross-database library, with decent PostgreSQL support. Integrates with Qt widgets, provides the basics.

Pgfe

https://github.com/dmitigr/pgfe

An initial release of a C++17 wrapper for libpq.

OZO

https://github.com/yandex/ozo

OZO is a C++17 library for asynchronous communication with PostgreSQL DBMS. The library leverages the power of template metaprogramming, providing a convenient mapping from C++ types to SQL along with rich query building possibilities. OZO supports different asynchronous paradigms (callbacks, futures, coroutines), using Boost.Asio under the hood. Low-level communication with PostgreSQL server is done via libpq. All concepts in the library are designed to be easily extendable (even replaceable) by the user to simplify adaptation to specific project requirements.
