The code is checking that the number of % symbols in the string literal matches the number of comma-separated expressions after the literal, and it sure looks like those match. > Which looks fine.

Weirder yet. The only idea that comes to mind is that '%%', with nothing between the percent signs, means a literal '%' character not two parameter markers. If the contents of the string literal were '%%' then this is exactly the error message you'd get. So here's a long-shot theory: what's in your source code is not a plain space but something weird like a no-break space, and when you transfer that text from machine A to machine B, the no-break space is getting dropped. regards, tom lane
