can anybody tell me why PQstatus() return not realy status ?
i make a connection, then PQstatus() tell ok
i stop database and PQstatus() tell me ok again (((
is where method for get real status of connection ?

PQstatus checks whether the last thing returned by db was ok,
not whether the db is still alive. I suggest using some
dummy query like:
PQexec('SELECT 1;');
