cannot figure this out
# \set var 'value'
# select * from some_table where some_col = :var;
ERROR: column value does not exist
cannot get those quotes around the value. tried:
# \set var ''value''
# \set var ''''value''''
in each case:
# \echo :var
value
thanks

Use backslashes.
regression=# \set var '\'value\''
regression=# \echo :var
'value'
