Not as of yet. I am building a custom wrapper to libpq and trying to account
for situations such as an attempt to call a libpq function on a PGconn
object that has not been initialized, such as returned from PQconnectdb and
the like. Same goes for PGresult objects.
Is it safe to assume that in these cases--where a PGconn or Pgresult has not
been initialized, but has not been finished() either--that all functions
won't (or shouldn't) choke, will set an error message, and return a defined
value?
Thanks,
