Hi, I'm writing an application with a lot of PL/pgSQL and am constructing SQL queries on the fly. The quote_literal() and quote_ident() functions proved very much needed. Similarly, I need functions that return the SQL representation of all the other datatypes, not just TEXT: quote_boolean (), quote_date() and so on. For the sake of completeness I think these functions should exist. While the use of to_char() resp. decode() for some types is possible, it does feel like a workaround to me. Opinions? Do these functions belong in the PostgreSQL core?
