I have a little php-script to help me learn foreign languages In my php-code I have the following line: $query="update wordlist set known=true where dutch='".$preceding."'"; This worked fine on a system running postgres 8.1, however in version 8.3.5 something changed which makes records with the dutch-field containing single quotes unfindable. You could argue that it's a bad practice to include records with single quotes in a field but in language related applications it's unavoidable as single quotes are used and escaping every single quote when adding data to the database is something you can't ask the user. example of a dutch field which causes the problem: hij zei: 'het is waar' I guess there must be a way to escape the single quotes automatically without rebuilding the database any help appreciated hugo -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
