In Postgres $$ (or $anything$) is an alternative for a single quotation mark (') to enclose character literals. In other words, $${}$$ is equivalent to '{}'.

It's commonly used to quote strings that themselves might contain single quotation marks, or strings inside dynamic SQL that is already enclosed in single quotes.

but is there any real reason for that? I mean should I avoid using '{}'?
