However, only two of + these are seen outside of an asynchronous connection procedure: + `~pq.ConnStatus.OK` and `~pq.ConnStatus.BAD`. A good connection to the + database has the status `!OK`. Ordinarily, an `!OK` status will remain + so until `Connection.close()`, but a communications failure might + result in the status changing to `!BAD` prematurely. + + .. autoattribute:: transaction_status + + The status can be `~pq.TransactionStatus.IDLE` (currently idle), + `~pq.TransactionStatus.ACTIVE` (a command is in progress), + `~pq.TransactionStatus.INTRANS` (idle, in a valid transaction block), + or `~pq.TransactionStatus.INERROR` (idle, in a failed transaction + block). `~pq.TransactionStatus.UNKNOWN` is reported if the connection + is bad. `!ACTIVE` is reported only when a query has been sent to the + server and not yet completed. + + .. autoattribute:: pipeline_status + + .. autoattribute:: backend_pid + .. autoattribute:: vendor + + Normally it is `PostgreSQL`; it may be different if connected to + a different database. + + .. versionadded:: 3.1 + + .. autoattribute:: server_version + + The number is formed by converting the major, minor, and revision + numbers into two-decimal-digit numbers and appending them together. + Starting from PostgreSQL 10 the minor version was dropped, so the + second group of digits is always 00.
