例子：select encode('123\000\001','base64'); = "MTIzAAE="

函数：initcap(string)

说明：Current client encoding name 得到pg客户端编码
例子：select pg_client_encoding(); = "UTF8"

函数：quote_ident(string text)
说明：Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as an identifier in an SQL statement string. Quotes are added only if necessary (i.e., if the string contains non-identifier characters or would be case-folded). Embedded quotes are properly doubled. 对某一字符串加上两引号
例子：quote_ident('Foo bar') = "Foo bar"

函数：quote_literal(string text)
说明：Return the given string suitably quoted to be used as a string literal in an SQL statement string. Embedded single-quotes and backslashes are properly doubled. 对字符串里两边加上单引号，如果字符串里面出现sql编码的单个单引号，则会被表达成两个单引号
