Hi,

I wonder is it guaranteed that one PQgetResult() call returns result for
the whole one statement (SQL command) in usual (not SingleRow) mode?
For instance, if I run PQsendQuery with query consisting of two
statements (separated by semicolons), is possible to have three or more
PQgetResult calls returning data? I guess not, but it seems to be not
clear from the docs.

PQgetResult description says:

Waits for the next result from a prior call...

Does one "result" here correspond to one statement?
