The entire code from PQconnect until PQfinish goes like this:
   pgconn = PQconnect(init_string);
   res = PQexec(pgconn, my_query);
   if (res == NULL)       quit;
   switch( PQresultStatus(res) )   {       case ... goto _end;       case ... goto _end;       ...       default ...
goto_end;   }
 
   PQclear(res);   res = NULL;

_end:   if (res)       PQclear(res);
   PQfinish(pgconn);


This is pretty much the skeleton of the code, as you can see, I treat res
pretty carefully, PQclear it whenever necessary.

Thanks
