+ Format a string. This function is similar to the C function
+ <function>sprintf</>; but only the following conversions
+ are recognized: <literal>%s</literal> interpolates the corresponding
+ argument as a string; <literal>%I</literal> escapes its argument as
+ an SQL identifier; <literal>%L</literal> escapes its argument as an
+ SQL literal; <literal>%%</literal> outputs a literal <literal>%</>.
+ A conversion can reference an explicit parameter position by preceding
+ the conversion specifier with <literal><replaceable>n</>$</>, where
+ <replaceable>n</replaceable> is the argument position.
+ See also <xref linkend="plpgsql-quote-literal-example">.

<para>
When working with dynamic commands you will often have to handle escaping
of single quotes. The recommended method for quoting fixed text in your
<emphasis>must</> use <function>quote_literal</>,
<function>quote_nullable</>, or <function>quote_ident</>, as appropriate.
</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Dynamic SQL statements can also be safely constructed using the
+ <function>format</function> function (see <xref
+ linkend="functions-string">). For example:
+<programlisting>
+EXECUTE format('UPDATE tbl SET %I = %L WHERE key = %L', colname, newvalue, keyvalue);
+</programlisting>
+ The <function>format</function> function can be used in conjunction with
+ the <literal>USING</literal> clause:
+<programlisting>
+EXECUTE format('UPDATE tbl SET %I = $1 WHERE key = $2', colname)
+ USING newvalue, keyvalue;
+</programlisting>
+ This form is more efficient, because the parameters
+ <literal>newvalue</literal> and <literal>keyvalue</literal> are not
+ converted to text.
+ </para>
