Use replace function as documented in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=1&file=functions-string.html
eg in your case you can do:
Select name, replace(name, '\n' , '') as straight_name , comments ,
replace(comments, '\n' , '') as straight_comment from table where comment like '%Fine%';
please not that replace function is inbuilt in postgresql 7.3.x ,
i previous versions i am not sure , but there is a work around for older
versions.
