+    <para>
+     When asynchronous queries are initiated by
+     <function>dblink_send_query</function>, the error message associated with
+     the connection might not get updated until the server's response message
+     is consumed. This typically means that <function>dblink_is_busy</function>
+     or <function>dblink_get_result</function> should be called prior to
+     <function>dblink_error_message</function>, so that any error generated by
+     the asynchronous query will be visible.
