Works for me:
regression=# create function foo() returns text as '
regression'# declare SQL text;
regression'# NSQL text;
regression'# begin
regression'# SQL := ''10/3/2009'';
regression'# NSQL := quote_literal(SQL);
regression'# return NSQL;
regression'# end' language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select foo(); foo
-------------'10/3/2009'
(1 row)
Again, I suggest giving a *complete* example, because you are obviously
not looking in the right place for your problem.
