The result status from a successful SELECT will be PGRES_TUPLES_OK;
PGRES_COMMAND_OK is only used for commands that do not return a tuple
set.

As commented nearby, it's not real clear that this query is succeeding,
anyway. It would behoove you to print something more useful than
"Select Failed" in your failure path ... see PQresStatus() and
PQresultErrorMessage() for starters.
