Hi,
In my application I need to check connection status before executing the query. I am doing it using PQstatus.
Problem is : PQstatus is getting blocked If the system on which database server is running is powered off.
If I shutdown the database using pg_ctl stop or pkill -9 postmaster in that case its returning.

Is there any other way to check the connection status in this case?

Thanks
Sk
