Hello there, thanks for Org Mode!

ob-sql.el has a function org-babel-execute:sql. This function extracts
the password to connect to your database of choice as dbpassword.
It then uses it like this:

    (if dbpassword
        (format "PGPASSWORD=%s " dbpassword)
      "")

If the password contains an & character, the execution of a block fails.
I solved like this:
    (if dbpassword
        (format "PGPASSWORD='%s' " dbpassword)
      "")

Hope this is of help,

Andrea
