Or whatever the equivalent syntax is in your driver. Avoiding mixing
user-provided data with the code entirely. The driver may still have to do the
mixing but it's probably better at it than you are. And in newer versions of
Postgres it doesn't even have to do it at all, and can ship the data to the
server separately.
