Dear All, pg_dump is dumping INSERT commands that fail to reload. I'm putting stuff into a table using perl DBI; dbh->quote. A select shows a row like: 1047676 | 1047673 | CAB | breeders' associations pg_dump creates a line INSERT INTO "keywords" ("key","extkey","system","str") VALUES (1047676,1047673,'CAB','breeders'' associations'); which throws a parser editor when I try to reload it. dev_templates=# INSERT INTO "keywords" ("key","extkey","system","str") VALUES (1047676,1047673,'CAB','breeders'' associations'); ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "associations" Whats happening please? Its quoted correctly, isn't it? I've just read the example/para about 'dianne''s horse' Cheers, Bob Bob Parkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical Manager: Biome http://biome.ac.uk/ Greenfield Medical Library, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham. 0115 9249924 x 42059 ------------------------------------------------------------------ We are stardust
