Details:

Database have below table:
CREATE TABLE TEST {
    NUM BIGINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
};


EXEC "SELECT NUM FROM TEST LIMIT 1"
   PQgetlength return valid length (sizeof(int64)), it's ok.

but
EXEC "SELECT SUM(NUM)::BIGINT FROM TEST"
or
EXEC "SELECT SUM(NUM) FROM TEST"

   PQgetlength already return zero.
