OK, it's not as straightforward as an unpaired single quote. I just had one fail on:
"PET'1'"
So the single quote is paired, and caused the problem. So I changed it to "PET 1"...and the whole import worked. But I got suspicious and started looking at the data for single quotes and found things like "T'BIRD", "B--CH'N!!" and "JOHN'S WIFE" and those all worked.
So I'm not sure what the deal is.

Hello,
Trying to import data, tab-delimited but unfortunately with quotes around string fields anyway. Like:
1234<tab>"JOHN"<tab>"SMITH"<tab>5678
PGAdmin import fails when the quoted value contains a single quote:
1234<tab>"EMPLOYEES'"<tab>"CREDIT UNION"<tab>5678
So the trailing quote (for possessive) after "EMPLOYEES" trips it up. Seems like, if one is inside a set of double-quotes, any single quotes should be ignored? (I know CSV is multiply and contradictorily defined, but still.)
