Hi I have a query regarding PQsendQuery that doesnt seem to be well explained in the docs. My basic situation is that I want to run a series of queries quickly, and I dont care what the result of them is (it is an insert). 1 ) When I run PQsendQuery(), can I then immediately run PQexec() or do I have to wait till the PQsendQuery has returned. 2 ) If I use PQconsumeInput(), does this tell the backend to not send the results of any queries pending? Or do I still get new ones coming back at me? 3 ) Finally, what happens if I close the database connection when I still have a queue of queries sitting in the PQsendQuery queue? >From what I have observed, I would guess: 1 ) PQexec is safe and jumps to the front of the queue 2 ) All future queries are still piped through 3 ) The unhandled queries are trashed. Thanks M Simms
