Re: quote_literal() fails with unmatched quotes

Nmostlikemat := ''10/3/2009'';

What happens is that quote_literal works for everyone in the example but
this one.

Subject: [SQL] quote_literal() fails with unmatched quotes

I have had the following problem and been unable to determine the cause !

nmostlikemat := iso_date(nmostlikemat);
EXECUTE ''insert into scenario_inv (''
|| ''inv_id,''
|| ''record_date,''
|| ''scenario_type,''
|| ''mostlikemat,''
|| ''mktpr,''
|| ''mktyld )''
|| '' values ( ''
|| quote_literal(ID)
|| '',''
|| quote_literal(nnrecord_date)
|| '',''
|| quote_literal(nscid)
|| '',''
|| quote_literal(nmostlikemat)
|| '',''
|| quote_literal(nmktpr)
|| '',''
|| quote_literal(nmktyld)
|| '');'';


The following error returns from postgres 8.1

ERROR: unterminated quoted string at or near "'2009-10-03" at character 122
