pg_escape_identifier
pg_escape_identifier escapes a identifier (e.g. table, field names) for querying the database. It returns an escaped identifier string for PostgreSQL server. pg_escape_identifier adds double quotes before and after data. Users should not add double quotes. Use of this function is recommended for identifier parameters in query. For SQL literals (i.e. parameters except bytea), pg_escape_literal or pg_escape_string must be used. For bytea type fields, pg_escape_bytea must be used instead.
Note:
This function has internal escape code and can also be used with PostgreSQL 8.4 or less.

A string containing text to be escaped.
Return Values
A string containing the escaped data.
