I've been trying to get the following LIBPQ program to insert
information into a database, however I get the following error
messsage. 


FATAL 1:Nov  9 11:04:51:Socket command type c unknown


Error: No response from the backend, exiting...

I know I must be doing something wrong - but I don't know what. However  I
have been able to get the LIBPQ extraction program from the ref man to work.

Also if anyone has any further information, sample programs etc
regarding the FAST PATH trap door system I would really apreciate it.

Thanks

Edwin Tait
