Description:

Hi, 
My query is like this : 
.......
WHERE to_tsvector(COALESCE("blog"."name" )) @@ (plainto_tsquery("cat")) =
true

That is, I am searching for the word "cat" in name column. But the following
error is given. Why is    plainto_tsquery is looking for a column name?
                                                             ^
********** Error **********

ERROR: column "cat" does not exist
SQL state: 42703
Character: 511

Quoted strings become SQL identifiers, what you want to do is using single
quotes in order to make it a string: 'cat'
