You cannot "bind" data to a query. You cannot execute two queries in
parallel with one connection. However, PGresults exist totally
independently or the connection or thread that originated them, so
feel free to stash them as you see fit.

libpq usually operates within the same thread context as the client
application, so in general it doesn't make sense to pass a function
pointer (which you suggested in a slightly earlier mail to the list)
that will be called back asynchronously like a signal handler.
Asynchronous command processing just exists as a way to keep a GUI
responsive and things like that, because PQExec() blocks.

Maybe it would help if you stepped back and described your problem in
broader terms.
