Thank you very much for your guidance .. Sure will use Async Llibpq Functionalities or Will use Thread Mutex for making the the queries to be synchronize ...

how the connection object stored. If the objective is to try and make
two concurrent actions on the database, I'd consider giving
asynchronous queries a whirl:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/libpq-async.html. Basically
you pair a PQsendQuery with a PQgetResult. It's a lot easier to code
than multi-threaded libpq and tends to be more robust in my
experience. If you must use threads, you'll want to keep a connection
with each thread instance -- I'd avoid any temptation to use a client
side connection pool.
