  <para>
   <function>pg_send_query</function> sends a query or queries asynchronously to the
   <parameter>connection</parameter>. Unlike
   <function>pg_query</function>, it can send multiple queries at once to
   PostgreSQL and get the results one by one using
   <function>pg_get_result</function>.
  </para>
  <para>
   Script execution is not blocked while the queries are executing. Use
   <function>pg_connection_busy</function> to check if the connection is
   busy (i.e. the query is executing). Queries may be cancelled using
   <function>pg_cancel_query</function>.
  </para>
  <para>
   Although the user can send multiple queries at once, multiple queries
   cannot be sent over a busy connection. If a query is sent while
   the connection is busy, it waits until the last query is finished and
   discards all its results.
