From e29db615b0f1056b9de9aa748e6881381959026f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shihao Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 15:20:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v1] doc: fix format() example output for a value with a backslash The example says that format('INSERT INTO %I VALUES(%L)', 'locations', 'C:\Program Files') returns INSERT INTO locations VALUES('C:\Program Files'). A backslash makes quote_literal emit an escape string constant, so the real output is INSERT INTO locations VALUES(E'C:\\Program Files').
