Just a small question: why there is not any quoting routine in libpq.

Can you give an example of what it should do?

Just as a guess, something that parses a string and escapes single quotes,
backslashes and stuff like that. I rolled my own for apps that I worked
on that needed one, lately I've been using PHP which has such a function
and a reversing function.

You are perfectly right!!! :-)))) Problem is that for each database you should escape
their own set of chars. And also there are lots of escaping types. Like some DBs
prefer to escape single quote as two single quotes, some as slash and single quote.
