Description

Hi,

looks like using ?? is working as placeholders for identifiers as in mysql, but I'm missing some information on the documentation about that. Or is it just something new that I just found out or something inherited from "mysql" package?

Confirm whether ?? placeholders are supported and inherited from mysql, then document the behavior and its usage where the project's current documentation covers query escaping.
