num_primary_key_atts

The number of primary key fields.

tgt_pk_att_vals_array

Values of the primary key fields to be used in the resulting DELETE command. Each field is represented in text form.

Example

 test=# select dblink_build_sql_delete('"MyFoo"', '1 2', 2, '{"1", "b"}');
            dblink_build_sql_delete
