I'll provide the patches in a single file as soon as possible.

Actually all the methods are wrappers against the native PostgreSQL commands 
(connection status, copy to/from).

I needed to develop them as methods because it is not possible to get the same 
results with a sql statement (in particular for connection status).

It was not possible also for COPY TO/FROM because of the way PostgreSQL handle 
them ( special functions were developed also for the old pgsql driver).

We are currently using them in production and we needed them in order to avoid 
additional connections to database (one with the old driver and one with PDO).
