Overview

This is the encoder class for PostgreSQL identifiers.

An Array value can be used for identifiers of the kind “schema.table.column”. This ensures that each element is properly quoted:

 PG::TextEncoder::Identifier.new.encode(['schema', 'table', 'column'])
    => '"schema"."table"."column"'

This encoder can also be used per PG::Connection#quote_ident .
