In psql, it will probably never be a problem, because it demands that you
close the quotation mark (that "postgres'>" prompt). It doesn't send
anything to the backend until you have closed the quotation and type \g or
';'.
But what happens if the above query is sent through one of the other
interfaces, like pqlib?
