dblink_build_sql_insert can be
useful in doing selective replication of a local table to a
remote database. It selects a row from the local table based on
primary key, and then builds a SQL INSERT command that will duplicate that row, but
with the primary key values replaced by the values in the last
argument. (To make an exact copy of the row, just specify the
same values for the last two arguments.)
Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.
Attribute numbers (1-based) of the primary key fields, for example 1 2.
The number of primary key fields.
Values of the primary key fields to be used to look up the local tuple. Each field is represented in text form. An error is thrown if there is no local row with these primary key values.
Values of the primary key fields to be placed in the resulting INSERT command. Each field is represented in text form.
