understoodand would be expected by just about any C developer.<br /><br /> In particular, the %d, %u, %e, and %f format
specifiersare immediately useful.<br /><br /> If we start with the "standard" set, you can start to use PQexecf()
immediatelyand we could promise to maintain *at least* that set.<br /><br /> We can add more specifiers (for proper
quotingand such) later - we can't break existing client applications if we just add to the set of supported specifiers;
thefunction gets more useful as time goes by.<br /><br /><br /> -- Korry
