<para>
<function>pg_convert</function> checks and converts the values in
<parameter>assoc_array</parameter> into suitable values for use in a SQL
statement. Precondition for <function>pg_convert</function> is the
existence of a table <parameter>table_name</parameter> which has at least
as many columns as <parameter>assoc_array</parameter> has elements. The
fieldnames in <parameter>table_name</parameter> must match the indices in
<parameter>assoc_array</parameter> and the corresponding datatypes must be
compatible. Returns an array with the converted values on success, &false;
otherwise.
</para>
<note>
<para>
If there are boolean fields in <parameter>table_name</parameter> don't
use the constant &true; in <parameter>assoc_array</parameter>. It will be
converted to the string 'TRUE' which is no valid entry for boolean fields
in PostgreSQL. Use one of t, true, 1, y, yes instead.
