Hi people, I've tried posting on the general list about this, but I never get a reply, so I'm trying here. I have a function that is run each time an INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE happens on a row and log into an audit table. It is based on the info here: http://www.alberton.info/postgresql_table_audit.html We have a table Customers.CREDIT with a primary key "NUMBER", "TRANSNO", "RECNUM". I have a trigger as follows: CREATE TRIGGER "tg_audit_credit" AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON "Customers"."CREDIT" FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "log_to_audit_table" (); This uses the attached tcl function which basically runs this for a delete spi_exec -array C "INSERT INTO audit_table(ts, usr, tbl, fld, pk_name, pk_value, mod_type, old_val, new_val) VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '$tguser', '$tgname', '$modified_field', '$pk_name', '$pk_value', '$TG_op', '$previous_value', NULL)" The function works fine for this SQL statement delete from "CREDIT" where "TRANSNO" < 11148188 AND "TRANSNO" > 11148180; However if I try this one I get a syntax error. delete from "CREDIT" where "RECNUM" < 2484907 AND "RECNUM" > 2484905; The error is below. Do I need to escape my strings? And if so how do I do this? Thanks Glyn SEE=# delete from "CREDIT" where "RECNUM" < 2484907 AND "RECNUM" > 2484905; ERROR: syntax error at or near "S" CONTEXT: syntax error at or near "S" while executing "spi_exec -array C "INSERT INTO audit_table(ts, usr, tbl, fld, pk_name, pk_value, mod_type, old_val, new_val) VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '$tguser', '$t..."
