Hi sandhya,
You can use PQresultStatus API to get the result status of the command execution
And PQresStatus to convert the enumerated type returned by PQresultStatus to a string constant.
For more information you can check the libpq API documentation
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-exec.html
Is this what you want?

Subject: [ADMIN] error codes in postgresql
I want to know ,if there is any way to return error codes/numbers as a return value from the postgresql functions.
If i am using my connection function say,
DbConnect(dname,uname,.........)
//here i use postgres connection function
conninfo="dbname=example(dname) user=postgres(uname)";
conn=PQConnectdb(conninfo)
//After connecting i need to create a table..and if the table exists
PQerrormessage(conn) will return error message...
Is there any other way of returning error number to my main program.
Can you please tell me how to handle these errors in my application.
I referred posgresql site..I didn't get any clear idea of it.
