libpq - prevent automatic reconnect

libpq will automatically reconnect if the connection is dropped.

 auto con = PQconnectdb("info");  while (true) {   PQclear(PQexec(con, "SELECT * FROM foo LIMIT 1"));   std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));   std::cout << "here " << i++ << std::endl; }

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down

output stops

$ sudo ifconfig eht0 up

output resumes

is there a way to disable this behaviour?
