Currently, the only C++ interface library for PostgreSQL in sarge is
libpqpp-dev. Its API is quite ancient and does not fit well with current C++
practice. PostgreSQL upstream encourages C++ developers to switch to libpqxx
as it has an API that fits much better with current C++ practice; as such it
would be a shame not to have it readily available in sarge.

offers a nice introduction to libpqxx.
Disclosure: libpqxx's author is a good friend of mine and I've done some
auto*-related work on libpqxx.
