Hi, Where should I look in the documentation for how to "quote" data for Postgres? e.g. Quoting quotes.. select * from t where x='It''s hard to find' Quoting Likes- trying to find backslashes- select * from t where x like '%\\%' ? Also more information on limits of data/types would be good - serial, character types. Can characters store 8 bit data safely. If not, can we kludge it with numeric.. How to get datetime to show the famed 1 microsecond resolution- "order by" doesn't seem to work. There's quite a bit of good info in the current Postgres docs, but it seems to gloss over some nitty gritty details. Cheerio, Link. ************
