Thread: Deep quotation

Deep quotation

From
Casey Allen Shobe
Date:
I can't seem to get the quoting around "Customers" right in the statement
below.  In db2, I can use \' to escape the quote, and it will insert into the
database properly.  How do I insert single quote data into a table using
single-quote data containers?

insert into    "permissions" (
    "component_id", "action", "query"
) values (
    'home',
    'allow_message_entry',
    'select        count(*)
from only    "users" as "u"
inner join only    "positions" as "p"
on        p."position_id" = u."Position ID"
where        u."UID" = 100
and        p."acl" >= 50
and        p."group_id" != (
    select        g."grosysid"
    from only    "pg_group" as "g"
    where        g."groname" = 'Customers'
)'

Thanks,

Whoops, nevermind this one.  Seems I made a typo.

That works in PG too, or you can use the spec-approved method of
doubling the quote.  See
