assuming
create table t (c int);
select c from t;
- PQresultStatus(result) == PGRES_TUPLES_OK
- PQntuples(result) == number or rows returned (int)
insert into t(c)values(1);
- PQresultStatus(result) ==PGRES_COMMAND_OK
- PQcmdTuples(result) == "1" (note: char*)
insert into t(c)values(1) returning c;
- PQresultStatus(result) ==PGRES_TUPLES_OK
- PQntuples(result) == 1 (int)
