RE: Return PGresult

Thanks,
Now, I am able to return PGresult. Pointer to pointer is working fine.
And about memory allocation. Before the PQexec we can't decide required
memory. So, PQexec doing the memory allocation.

I believe that the  PQexec is doing the allocation. That is why it has
to be pointer to pointer.
