non-SQL C interface ? (fwd)

Hi,

I got no answer from pgsql-questions list.

basically I'm using only one table at a time, and I need only a few
simple operations on tuples (find, add, updates, delete).

-- after a quick look at all `cd src; find . -name '*.h'` I didn't
find any such similar interface.

Can sombody advise me how could I get this simple interface ?

I'm fluent in C/C++.

Thanx,

Jan

Subject: non-SQL C interface ?

If I would like to access the database through a C interface using a few
simple database operations, like
open db
select fields to work with
select index to use
select a record
update a record
add a record
delete a record
lock a table against updates, unlock

and that's it. (Taken from Informinx 3.3, "ALL-II" C interface.)

We are looking into porting an app written for this Informix interface
into Postgres, and I would wrinte a library simulating these calls.

Is there a set of calls seomwhere inside of PGSQL that I could use in my
simulation library to utilize ?

THanx,

Jan
