Database Connection Control Functions

Database connection control functions control the connections to database servers. An application can connect to multiple servers at a time. For example, a client connects to multiple databases. Each connection is represented by a PGconn object, which is obtained from the function PQconnectdb, PQconnectdbParams, or PQsetdbLogin. Note that these functions will always return a non-null object pointer, unless memory allocation fails. In that case, a null pointer will be returned. The interface for establishing a connection is stored in the PGconn object. The PQstatus function can be called to check the return value for a successful connection.
