FATAL is probably a bad choice of words here; it basically means any
error condition reported by the server that caused execution of your
query to be abandoned. NONFATAL_ERROR actually means "notice or
warning message", and isn't a possible return code from PQexec anyway.
I think BAD_RESPONSE is historical at the moment; I don't see it being
generated anywhere in the library.
