Tom Lane 6cbee65eee Doc: document libpq's restriction to INT_MAX rows in a PGresult.
As long as PQntuples, PQgetvalue, etc, use "int" for row numbers, we're
pretty much stuck with this limitation.  The documentation formerly stated
that the result of PQntuples "might overflow on 32-bit operating systems",
which is just nonsense: that's not where the overflow would happen, and
if you did reach an overflow it would not be on a 32-bit machine, because
you'd have OOM'd long since.
