Works for me: regression=# create function foo() returns text as ' regression'# declare SQL text; regression'# NSQL text; regression'# begin regression'# SQL := ''10/3/2009''; regression'# NSQL := quote_literal(SQL); regression'# return NSQL; regression'# end' language plpgsql; CREATE FUNCTION regression=# select foo(); foo ------------- '10/3/2009' (1 row) Again, I suggest giving a *complete* example, because you are obviously not looking in the right place for your problem. regards, tom lane
