amtesting it in my project, it loads and sends queries to DB.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I downloaded
sourceand ran the “perl mkvcbuild.pl”<p class="MsoNormal">I opened solution in VS2008 letting it convert project.<p

linkerproperties for the libpq project ws2_32.lib,secur32.lib,wldap32.lib and then the libpq.def file<p
