Blake, 

You might want to try escaping the single quotes in your data.  Either by doubling them up or switching double quotes for dollar-quoted strings.

Just a thought, 

rik.

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.)
