I'm using Postgresql instead of mysql.  Would this error have occurred using 
mysql?  It shouldn't matter because sql is sql right?

OTRS devs:  is mysql the preferred database for otrs?

Thanks,

Carl

This sounds like an sql escaping issue, where placeholders or proper quoting 
should be used for all the data, but isn't correct.
(this is potentially a security issue too)

I've filed a bug report about it
