I looked at this patch a bit, and I think the real problem with it is
that it's not multibyte safe. You've copied backend code that is
allowed to assume it's in a safe encoding (ie, one where multibyte
characters can't contain non-high-bit-set bytes). This is not okay
on the client side, see SJIS and similar encodings.
Where you need to start out is by cloning PQescapeStringConn, which does
a similar type of transformation correctly even in unsafe encodings.
I think we'd agreed upthread that libpq should provide
PQescapeIdentifier functionality anyhow.
Once you've actually read that code, you'll realize that it's okay to
treat the error result as a warning, which resolves the other point
of concern. Just print the message and use the result anyway.
