PostgreSQL does not add braces to text. It sounds like a problem with the code 
you have that inserts and retreives data out of PostgreSQL

Let's try a test case:

BEGIN;
CREATE TEMP TABLE test_table (
    foo text
);
INSERT INTO test_table (foo) VALUES('<html>foo</html>');
SELECT foo FROM test_table;
ROLLBACK;

The result of the select statement should look like:

       foo
------------------
<html>foo</html>
(1 row)

i.e., no added braces.

Subject: [GENERAL] Posgres Adding braces at beginning and end of text (html) 
content

Hi All, 

I'm fairly new to postgres and I'm having this peculiar problem. 

I'm storing raw html in a text field and I want users who know HTML to 
update the content in a textarea field. 

The problem is postgres is adding braces to the begining and ending of 
the content.  On creation and every time I update. 

This is: 

I input: 

<p>xyz <p/> 
.......... 

into the text area field I save and view I see 

{<p>xyz</p> 

.......... 

} 

On a subsequent update I see 

{{<p>xyz</p> 
......... 

}} 

On another I see 

{{<p>xyz</p> 

..... 

}} 

Not sure what is happening here? 
I am using postgres 8.3 on windows
