Is there a mapping between Postgresql data types to C data types

You want do server-side programming or client-side programming? — Lee Duhem, Feb 24 '14 at 05:59
The [libpq documentation](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq.html) may be helpful. That is all I got. — Lee Duhem, Feb 24 '14 at 06:36

There's a tool specifically for that for client-side programming: libpqtypes.

For server-side programming, i.e. PostgreSQL extensions written in C and running in the PostgreSQL server executable, you need to use PostgreSQL's APIs directly.
