+     In typical usage, the <em class="replaceable"><code>string</code></em> is a host
+     variable reference to a string containing a dynamically-constructed
+     SQL statement.  The case of a literal string is not very useful;
+     you might as well just write the SQL statement directly, without
+     the extra typing of <code class="command">EXECUTE IMMEDIATE</code>.
+    </p><p>
+     If you do use a literal string, keep in mind that any double quotes
+     you might wish to include in the SQL statement must be written as
+     octal escapes (<code class="literal">\042</code>) not the usual C
+     idiom <code class="literal">\"</code>.  This is because the string is inside
+     an <code class="literal">EXEC SQL</code> section, so the ECPG lexer parses it
+     according to SQL rules not C rules.  Any embedded backslashes will
+     later be handled according to C rules; but <code class="literal">\"</code>
+     causes an immediate syntax error because it is seen as ending the
+     literal.
+    </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.7.5.20.10.6"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
+     Here is an example that executes an <code class="command">INSERT</code>
+     statement using <code class="command">EXECUTE IMMEDIATE</code> and a host
+     variable named <code class="varname">command</code>:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+sprintf(command, "INSERT INTO test (name, amount, letter) VALUES ('db: ''r1''', 1, 'f')");
+EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :command;
