Subject: "append", using libpq ?

	
I am writing some programs in C using Libpq. I am doing basic
things as, creating a database, inserting some records(classes), 
and retrieving the data.
The reference manual shows the insertion of class using the copy 
command (from stdin). I wanted to execute the query append to 
insert the instances of some classes. I tried PQexec("append..."), 
but this does not seem to work. I am not sure that libpq allows
execution of such queries using PQexec. If not, then is there
another way instead of using copy command and PQputline.

Your help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Oops, one more thing. If you have some basic examples of appending
and retrieving data from a database, I would really appreciate if 
I can get some of them.

Thank you .

Praveen.
