<code class="function">dblink_send_query</code> sends a query to be executed
asynchronously, that is, without immediately waiting for the result.
There must not be an async query already in progress on the
connection.
</p><p>
After successfully dispatching an async query, completion status
can be checked with <code class="function">dblink_is_busy</code>, and the results
are ultimately collected with <code class="function">dblink_get_result</code>.
It is also possible to attempt to cancel an active async query
using <code class="function">dblink_cancel_query</code>.
