I am trying to use
SELECT regexp_split_to_table('''quick brown'', ''fox'' ''over, dog''',  ','); 

I need the output to be:
quick brown
fox
over, dog


You cannot reliably/easily parse/split CSV with embedded delimiters using regex...you can cheat a bit if your data allows by making the delimiter <', '> instead of just <,>
