I run this query and put the result into a PGresult variable caller result:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM driver WHERE driverID = :driverID
I then grab the value using PQgetvalue and put it into a string.
The query should return 0 because there are no records in the table as
of yet. When I run the program however, the value returned is 48.
I used GDB to look at what was in the string and I saw this information:
48 "0"
When I put a record in the table with driverID of 1 and run the query
again, I get this value:
49 "1"
This tells me that the value is put into the string correctly but I am
getting extra information. Is there a way to get rid of this extra
information without having to parse the string?
Thank You
