Oh, I see the problem: you forgot to convert " to a backslash sequence. It would probably also be wise to convert anything >= 128 to a backslash sequence, so as to avoid any possible problems with multibyte character encodings. You wouldn't see this issue in a SQL_ASCII database, but I suspect it would rise up to bite you with other encoding settings. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
