12     <code class="function">dblink_build_sql_insert</code> can be useful in doing selective
13     replication of a local table to a remote database.  It selects a row

16     the primary key values replaced by the values in the last argument.

39     As of <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> 9.0, the attribute numbers in
40     <em class="parameter"><code>primary_key_attnums</code></em> are interpreted as logical
41     column numbers, corresponding to the column's position in
42     <code class="literal">SELECT * FROM relname</code>.  Previous versions interpreted the
43     numbers as physical column positions.  There is a difference if any
44     column(s) to the left of the indicated column have been dropped during
