Hello all,

I am setting up a streaming replication stand-by, and the replication role password has a single quote in it. I am unable to properly reference the password in the conninfo setting of recovery.conf so it will authenticate to the master. Doubling the quote gives me a syntax error, and escaping it or quoting it with double-quotes gives me an authentication error. The password is correct because I can copy it from the recovery.conf and supply it when prompted by pg_basebackup, so if I may, what is the proper way to handle single quotes within the conninfo string?

Obviously I can change the password, but we use an automated password generator so I'd like to not have to keep generating passwords, and checking them, until I get one that will work, unless that my only option.

Thanks,
Nelson
