Sure. It is a way of entering long strings which break across lines.
The only thing(s) allowed between the two pieces of string are
whitespace, newlines, and single-line comments:

postgres=> select -- first line
postgres-> 'hi' -- second line
postgres->    ' there'; -- third line
?column?
--------
hi there
(1 row)
