Re: pg_escape with copy

I have data that I'm running through pg_escape_sting in php and then adding to stdin for a copy command. The problem is "O'reilly" is being changed to "O''Reilly" in the string and then in the db. I saw with the copy command I can specify the escape but it isn't working for me. Should this command fix this double 'single' quote issue when I put it in the db? And what is the proper syntax?

AFAIK "copy" takes the csv file and imports it (and handles quotes etc itself). So just create your file: First Name, Last Name Tim, O'Reilly and when you "copy" that in (without the header line), it'll "just work". -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
