Hello,

I'm in the middle of doing a test conversion of my home Bacula setup
to Postgres and noticed an issue with the conversion instructions:

http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Configuring_Post.html#SECTION004950000000000000000

For some reason, they do not tackle the quotes in the filename table
right. (The MySQL dump contains the quotes escaped as \', but Postgres
chokes on that. It appears to want them quoted as ''.)

I'm no PSQL expert (just started using it today) so I'm not quite sure
how to correctly work around this. I used the sed command from this
post, but it still didn't clean up all the blobs correctly:

Maybe somebody with more PSQL knowledge could have a go at it.

Versions used by me:
Bacula 5.2.10
MySQL 5.1.53-0+squeeze1 (Debian package)
postgresql 9.1 (Debian package)
