Well, yes. PQgetResult says wait for a result and return it.

Your proposed code is still a busy-wait loop. What you should be doing
is waiting for some data to arrive on the socket. Once you see
read-ready on the socket, call PQconsumeInput, then check PQisBusy to
see if the query is complete or not. If not, go back to waiting on the
socket. Typically you'd use select() or poll() to watch for both data
on libpq's socket and whatever other events your app is interested in.

This code seems a bit confused. PQisBusy returns a bool (1/0), not a
value of ExecStatusType.
