psql -U postgres psql (9.2.3) Type "help" for help. postgres=# select encode('can''t', 'escape'); encode -------- can't (1 row) I observed the same behaviour on one of our older systems (8.3.11) as well. Am I missing something? I expected "can''t" as the output. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
