The manual goes over many permutations of the escape process and
what options can be used in each case. I would start there, because
for example, escaping a "'" in SQL uses two "'"s: i.e. 'D' Andes'
becomes 'D'' Andes' I think. Procedural languages and libpq can
offer many other options for escape processing.
