Re: Ticket 266: Unable to backup table when quotation marks used in the name - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

It looks like as feared, this patch did break the quoting of some
things, as I'm starting to get bugs reported internally here that are
not present in 1.10. Eg. this one, where a database name contains
quotes:

/opt/PostgresPlus/9.0AS/bin/pg_dump --host localhost --port 5444
--username "enterprisedb" --format custom --blobs --verbose --file
"/home/edb/abbas.backup" \"AB\"
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database ""AB"" failed: FATAL:
database ""AB"" does not exist
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error

Process returned exit code 1.

Can you check your work please Guillaume?
