>Return Value</H2
><P
> For an async query (that is, a SQL statement returning rows),
the function returns the row(s) produced by the query. To use this
function, you will need to specify the expected set of columns,
as previously discussed for <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>dblink</CODE
>.
</P
><P
> For an async command (that is, a SQL statement not returning rows),
the function returns a single row with a single text column containing
the command's status string. It is still necessary to specify that
the result will have a single text column in the calling <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>FROM</TT
>
clause.

It must be called once for each query
sent, and one additional time to obtain an empty set result,
before the connection can be used again.
