The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1313
Logged by:          Pascal Pochet

Email address:      postgresql@p3-consulting.net

PostgreSQL version: 7.4.5

Operating system:   Mac OS X

Description:        problems with array syntax parsing  in SQL statements

Details:

In INSERT statements the string '{}' is correctly parsed as an empty array
when '{ }' is not, as if the space was signifiant, and generates a syntax
error.

Also
'{"A", "B"}' will be correctly parsed when
'{"A", "B" }' (note the space before the closing brace ) will generate the
following entry '{"A","B "} : the space(s) between the latest double quote
and the closing brace is/are added to the latest item of the array.
