>Description</H2
><P
>    <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>dblink_build_sql_update</CODE
> can be useful in doing selective
    replication of a local table to a remote database.  It selects a row
    from the local table based on primary key, and then builds a SQL
    <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>UPDATE</TT
> command that will duplicate that row, but with
    the primary key values replaced by the values in the last argument.
    (To make an exact copy of the row, just specify the same values for
    the last two arguments.)  The <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>UPDATE</TT
> command always assigns
    all fields of the row &mdash; the main difference between this and
    <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>dblink_build_sql_insert</CODE
> is that it's assumed that
    the target row already exists in the remote table.

    column numbers, corresponding to the column's position in
    <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

    numbers as physical column positions.  There is a difference if any
    column(s) to the left of the indicated column have been dropped during
    the lifetime of the table.
