+ <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 an SQL
+ <code class="command">UPDATE</code> 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 <code class="command">UPDATE</code> command always assigns
+ all fields of the row — 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.

+ As of <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> 9.0, the attribute numbers in

+ column numbers, corresponding to the column's position in
+ <code class="literal">SELECT * FROM relname</code>. Previous versions interpreted the
+ numbers as physical column positions. There is a difference if any
+ column(s) to the left of the indicated column have been dropped during
