  1. field delimiter...

    Marc G. Fournier <scrappy@hub.org> — 1998-05-16T22:22:03Z

    
    Hello to everyone, I am using FreeBSD 3.0-current, Postgres-6.3.2 and
    heitml-1.2.3 for doing my degree at university on a research work...
    
    Now I have to use some fields in a table that can contain the ' which is
    very common in italian language ... 
    
    Is there a way of escape this one so I can put fields like :
    
    "Di che colore e' l'albero ?"
    
    
    Thanks for your attention, please reply directly to me too, because I am
    not on this list yet...

    You'll have to use two single quotes like:
    
    insert into table values ('Di che colore e'' l''albero ?');
