Thread: How to process inverted comma in "EXECUTE 'insert into xxx values(...)';"?

How to process inverted comma in "EXECUTE 'insert into xxx values(...)';"?

From

Look at this problem:
when
execute 'insert into lse_installations values(' || ''''||obj_id||'''' || ',' || ''''||div||'''' || ',' ||
''''||sub||''''|| ',' || ''''||obj_type||'''' || ',' || ''''||obj_name||'''' || ',' || ''''||pstcd||'''' || ',' ||
''''||rdcd||''''|| ',' || ''''||blkno||'''' || ',' || ''''||vldunt||'''' || ','|| cenlat || ',' || cenlon || ')';
 
because obj_name from another table has value like this:S'pore High Polymer.
Following error raises:                            
ERROR: syntax error at or near "pore"
SQL state: 42601
Context: PL/pgSQL function "lse_installations" line 64 at execute statement

So how to process the single inverted comma in char variable?It makes me so desperate.

Why are you EXECUTEing the INSERT command? It's directly supported in
plpgsql, since it is a superset of SQL. That is, you can do:

INSERT INTO lse_installations    VALUES (obj_id, div, sub, obj_type, obj_name, pstcd, rdcd, blkno, vldunt          ,
cenlat,cenlon);
 

Good luck.

But I must use it in function,so...
Do you have another solution?

You'll want to look into the quote_ident() and quote_literal() functions
when constructing queries like this.

See functions and operators / string functions for details.

So?

----------------------------------------

t=# CREATE TABLE d(i INT);
CREATE TABLE
t=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add1(x INT) RETURNS INT AS
t-# $$
t$# BEGIN
t$#   INSERT INTO d VALUES(x);
t$#   RETURN x;
t$# END;
t$# $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
t=# SELECT add1(1);   1

t=# SELECT add1(2);   2

t=# SELECT add1(3);   3

t=# SELECT * FROM d;123

----------------------------------------

Do you need something else?
