postgresqlHow do I use the PostgreSQL quote_ident function?
The PostgreSQL quote_ident function is used to escape the names of identifiers (e.g. table names, column names) that may contain special characters or keywords. It takes a single string as an argument and returns a new string with the identifier properly escaped.
For example,
SELECT quote_ident('column name');will return:
"column name"The parts of the code are as follows:
SELECT: This is the SQL statement used to retrieve data from a database.quote_ident(): This is the PostgreSQL function used to escape the names of identifiers.'column name': This is the string that is passed as an argument to thequote_identfunction.
