Sorry I haven't had time to work on it. Priorities. Hi, I am interested in this patch and addressed various below comments from reviewers. And, I have separated out code and test module into 2 patches. So, If needed, test patch can be enhanced more, meanwhile code patch can be committed.

Renamed and modified batch status APIs as below
PQisInBatchMode & PQbatchIsAborted ==> PQbatchStatus
PQqueriesInBatch ==> PQbatchQueueCount
PQbeginBatchMode ==> PQbatchBegin
PQendBatchMode ==> PQbatchEnd
PQsendEndBatch ==> PQbatchQueueSync
PQgetNextQuery ==> PQbatchQueueProcess

I think it is still ok to keep the current behaviour like other ones present in
the same file. E.g:"PQsendPrepare" "PQsendQueryGuts"
>PQqueriesInBatch() (Newname(NN):PQbatchQueueCount)doesn't work as documented.

Modified the logic to count number of entries in pending queue and return the
count

Removed these unnecessary changes from src/test/examples folder and corrected
the path mentioned in comments section of testlibpqbatch.c

Both prev->query and prev is freed. Also, this applies to "cmd_queue_recycle"
too.

Modified "check" rule in makefile

Removed ifdef VERBOSE checks.

I think it is a separate patch candidate.

Updated documentation section of PQbatchQueueProcess() with these details.

Corrected to return false if PQmakePipelinedCommand() returns NULL.

Yes, agree that tracking the batch status via one flag is more clean
So, Added new enum typedef enum
{
PQBATCH_MODE_OFF,
PQBATCH_MODE_ON,
PQBATCH_MODE_ABORTED
} PQBatchStatus;
and " PQBatchStatus batch_status" member of pg_conn is used to track the
status of batch mode.

Though it is put in queue, technically the command is sent to server and server
might have started executing it.
So it is ok to use launched I think.
> It may be a good idea to add a test for COPY and trigger a failure.
Added new test - "copy_failure" to trigger failures during copy state.
Please note that COPY is allowed in batch mode, but only syncing batch/queuing
any command while copy is in progress is blocked due to potential failure of
entire batch.
So updated the documentation for more clarity in this case.

Check to verify whether the connection is in batch mode or not is already
present in PQexecStart().
And, all the functions calling PQexecFinish() will not be allowed in batch mode
anyways. So, no new check is needed I think.

All the APIs which supports asynchronous command processing can be executed
only if PG_PROTOCOL_MAJOR >= 3. So, adding it to new routines are not really
needed.

Documentation updated with list of functions - PQsendQueryParams,PQsendPrepare,
PQsendQueryPrepared,PQdescribePortal,PQdescribePrepared,
PQsendDescribePortal,PQsendDescribePrepared.
