problems:<br/>- There are a couple of whitespaces still in the code, particularly at the end of those lines<br

arereturned by pg_isready, it is awkward to refer to the returning values as plain integers as those values are part of
anenum. You should add references to PQPING_OK, PQPING_REJECT, PQPING_NO_RESPONSE and PQPING_NO_ATTEMPT instead. Also
addto reference links in the docs redirecting to them, with things of the type <xref
linkend="libpq-pqpingparams-pqping-ok">or related.<br /> - Same thing with this example:<br />+   <para><br

<userinput>pg_isready</userinput><br/>+     <prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>echo
$?</userinput><br/> +     <computeroutput>0</computeroutput><br />+    </screen><br />+  
</para><brclear="all" />For the time being PQPING_OK returns 0 because it is on top of the enum PGPing, but this
mightchange if for a reason or another the order of outputs is changed.<br /><br />Once those things are fixed, I think
thiswill be ready for committer review as everybody here seem to agree with your approach.<br />-- <br />Michael
