Assistance with libpq

Hello,

I have an issue that is driving me crazy. I am using libpq on linux in C.
The insert code below inserts one key/data pair record with as both as
BYTEA into database test2:

PGresult* put_data_to_test2(PGconn* conn, int key_size, const char* const
key, int data_size, const char* const data)
{
PGresult* result;
const char* const paramValues[] = { key, data };
const int nParams = sizeof(paramValues) / sizeof(paramValues[0]);
const int paramLenghts[] = {key_size, data_size};
const int paramFormats[] = {1, 1}; /* binary */
const int resultFormat = 0; /* text */
result = PQexecParams(conn, "insert into test2 (key, data) values
($1::bytea, $2::bytea)", nParams, NULL, /* Types of parameters, unused as
casts will define types */ paramValues, paramLenghts, paramFormats,
resultFormat);
return result;
}
int
main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
PGconn* conn;
PGresult* res;
int rec_count;
int row;
int col;
conn = PQconnectdb("dbname=postgres host=localhost user=tc port=3333");
if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_BAD) {
puts("We were unable to connect to the database");
exit(0);
}
char* key = "This is the key";
char* data = "This is the data";
res = put_data_to_test2
(
conn,
sizeof(key),
key,
sizeof(data),
data
);
if ((!res) || (PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK)){
fprintf(stderr, "INSERT INTO command failed\n");
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
PQfinish(conn);
exit(0);
}

The select code in which I use a invalid key value returns all records in
the database:

PGresult* get_data_from_test2(PGconn* conn, int key_size, const char* const
key)
{
PGresult* result;
const char* const paramValues[] = {key};
const int nParams = 1;
const int paramLenghts[] = {key_size};
const int paramFormats[] = {1}; /* binary */
const int resultFormat = 0; /* text */
result = PQexecParams(conn, "select * from test2 where data = $1::bytea",
nParams, NULL, paramValues, paramLenghts, paramFormats, resultFormat);
return result;
}
int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
PGconn* conn;
PGresult* res;
int rec_count;
int row;
int col;
conn = PQconnectdb("dbname=postgres host=localhost user=tc port=3333");
if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_BAD) {
puts("We were unable to connect to the database");
exit(0);
}
char* key = "This is not the key";
res = get_data_from_test2(conn, sizeof(key), key);
if ((PQresultStatus(res) == PGRES_EMPTY_QUERY)){
printf("Result returned no results\n");
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
if ((!res) || (PQresultStatus(res) != PGRES_TUPLES_OK)){
fprintf(stderr, "SELECT FROM command failed\n");
fprintf(stderr, PQresultErrorMessage(res));
PQclear(res);
exit_nicely(conn);
}
printf("Numbers of rows = %d\n", PQntuples(res));
PQclear(res);
PQfinish(conn);
exit(0);
}

This code should return no results, yet I get all records and no errors. My
endstate in a key/data pair database that takes data as marshalled binaries
and returns them in there original inserted format.

Thank you for any insites,
Jesse
