How to read an array of pairs result from libpqxx into C++












0















I have a postgresfunction returning the type tp_m_info wich contains
an array of pairs (see below). And i'm using libpqxx to connecting to
postgres.



CREATE TYPE public.tp_m_set_id AS
(
m_id integer,
m_name text
);


CREATE TYPE public.tp_m_info AS
(
m_id integer,
m_name text,
m_value double precision,
m_is_true boolean,
original_ms tp_m_set_id
);


I can read int, double, str and even boolean from the result:



iter[m_id].as<int>()
iter[m_name].c_str()
iter[m_value].as<double>()

// and bool like
std::string tmp_str = iter["m_is_true"].c_str();
if ("t" == tmp_str)
{
info.m_is_merged = true;
}
else
{
info.m_is_merged = false;
}


but I don't know how to handle "tp_m_set_id"
It failed with something like "std::vector>"



iter[original_ms].as<std::vector<std::pair<uint32_t, std::string>>>()


Any Idea how to get it?



In "libpq" there is binary resultFormat with:
PQexecParams() and paramFormats=1
see: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/libpq-exec.html



Is there a binary Format in "libpqxx" now? Has something changed in
the last 10 years?
see: http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/wiki/BinaryTransfers



Is there a fast way to get a block of compound data from libpqxx and
convert it to C++?

          I guess the solution is



          e.g. to use:



          std::pair<int, int> my_pair = row["m_ints"].as<std::pair<int, int> >();


          write into strconv.hxx:



          template<> struct PQXX_LIBEXPORT string_traits<std::pair<int, int> >
          {
          static constexpr const char *name() noexcept { return "std::pair<int, int>"; }
          static constexpr bool has_null() noexcept { return false; }
          static bool is_null(std::pair<int, int>) { return false; }
          [[noreturn]] static std::pair<int, int> null()
          { internal::throw_null_conversion(name()); }
          static void from_string(const char Str, std::pair<int, int> &Obj);
          static std::string to_string(std::pair<int, int> Obj);
          };


          and in strconv.cxx implement:




          • static void from_string(const char Str, std::pair &Obj);

          • static std::string to_string(std::pair Obj);


          now you have to recompile libpqxx.



          The problem is, the implementation of "from_string" ends up in stringparsing a string like "(9,5)". And Stringparsing is not what i want.



          so i'm going to try libpq.
