Hi,
I need to extend postgreSQL to support some specific function I will code in C (ideally C++ if it can work!).
Be very carefull with using C++ functions inside postgresql. If the C++ code throws an exception the postgresql backend will get a SIGABRT and terminate.
You can solve this by linking the std c++ library to the postmaster. We tried everything we could think of to fix this, but this was the only solution that worked.
For a complete discussion, you can read the PostGIS (GIS spatial objects for Postgresql) mailing list (http://postgis.refractions.net) and the GEOS (Geometry Engine, Open Source) mailing list (http://geos.refractions.net).
