The following routines deal with making a connection to
a <productname>Postgres</productname> backend server. The application
program can have several backend connections open at one time.
(One reason to do that is to access more than one database.)
Each connection is represented by a PGconn object which is obtained
from PQconnectdb() or PQsetdbLogin(). Note that these functions
will always return a non-null object pointer, unless perhaps
there is too little memory even to allocate the PGconn object.
The PQstatus function should be called
to check whether a connection was successfully made
before queries are sent via the connection object.
