Ah, I didn't even see that that section needed to be updated.  Good
catch.  I'd suggest the following wording:

For a <command>SELECT</command> or <command>CREATE TABLE AS</command>
command, the tag is SELECT rows... [and the rest as you have it]

We should probably also retitle that section from "Retrieving Result
Information for Other Commands" to "Retrieving Other Result
Information" and adjust the text of the opening sentence similarly.

Also I think you need to update the docs for PQcmdtuples to mention
that it not works for SELECT and CTAS.
