Sorry, I don't really know. I've never used it. But I can try to take a guess from 2 minutes I
scanned over the PostgreSQL manual.
It seems that you would write your script using only normal C and ecpg syntax. (I am not sure
this is correct).
Such a file can not be compiled directly. It has to be feed to a preprocessor first:
ecpg prog1.pgc
which generates -> prog1.c
The newly created C file is what is actually processed by the C processor. The syntax conforms to
that from libpq.
cc -c prog1.c
So, maybe "long story short" if you want to code exclusively in C and do not want to worry about
preprocessing then you should take a look at the following:

If anyone would like to correct any of my assumptions, please feel free. :-)
