Hi,
I need to define a variable in psql, but the variable needs to contain a
space:
This is what I want to do;
\set theName '\''John Nobody '\''
SELECT add_agent( :theName, 'Test Company', 'Test Department' );
...
etc
Unfortunately psql removes the space, so that theName = 'JohnNobody'
What do i need to do to preserve the space?
Thanks
