Having a lot of char* does not necessarily mean that all of them have
to be changed to accomodate with PQExpBuffer. My guess that this is a
case-by-case, where we should apply that in places where it makes the
code cleaner to follow. In the case of your patch though, the two
areas changed would make the logic correct, instead, because we have
to apply correct quoting rules to any commands executed.

It does not seem so, though there are surely more areas that could
gain in clarity.
