I thought there were places that just dealt with "00" etc. And there are - but
it's just comparisons.

I still don't fully feel comfortable just using memcpy() though, given that
the sqlstates originate remotely / from libpq, making it hard to rely on the
fact that the buffer "ought to" always be at least 5 bytes long? As far as I
can tell there's no enforcement of PQresultErrorField(..., PG_DIAG_SQLSTATE)
being that long.
And replacing with snprintf, what do you guys think?

    n = snprintf(sqlca->sqlstate, sizeof(sqlca->sqlstate), "%s", sqlstate);
    Assert(n >= 0 && n < sizeof(sqlca->sqlstate));
