# 🏙️ PostgreSQL C++ Connector 🌆
Welcome to **PostgreSQL with C++: City Explorer**! 🚀 This project showcases a simple yet powerful example of how to connect a C++ application to a PostgreSQL database using the `libpqxx` library. With this project, you can explore the 10 largest cities in the USA right from your terminal! 🌎
## Features ✨
- **Easy Setup** 🛠️: Quickly set up and get started with minimal configuration.
- **Simple Interface** 💻: Interact with the database through a clean and intuitive terminal interface.
- **Robust Design** 🏗️: Organized code structure with a dedicated PostgreSQL class for easy database management.
- **Educational** 📚: Perfect for learning how to integrate C++ with PostgreSQL using `libpqxx`.
## Why Use This Project? 🌟
- **Learn by Doing** 👨💻: Hands-on experience is the best way to learn. This project provides a practical example of database integration.
- **Boost Your Skills** 🚀: Improve your C++ and SQL knowledge by exploring real-world applications.
- **Reusable Code** ♻️: The PostgreSQL class can be easily adapted for other projects requiring database interactions.
