Description Serge Pavlovsky 2012-12-05 22:28:45 UTC 
Created attachment 658426 [details]
tested patch

Description of problem:

pqxx::connection_base::encoding_code() is marked as non-throwing, but it calls activate(), which throws on connection loss, causing call of std::unexcpected() and subsequent crash
other similar functions, for example pqxx::connection_base::protocol_version(), just return 0 when not connected

please apply attached patch
