Bug reference: 1313
Logged by: Pascal Pochet
Email address: postgresql(at)p3-consulting(dot)net
PostgreSQL version: 7.4.5
Operating system: Mac OS X
Description: problems with array syntax parsing in SQL statements
Details:
In INSERT statements the string '{}' is correctly parsed as an empty array
when '{ }' is not, as if the space was signifiant, and generates a syntax
error.
Also
'{"A", "B"}' will be correctly parsed when
'{"A", "B" }' (note the space before the closing brace ) will generate the
following entry '{"A","B "} : the space(s) between the latest double quote
and the closing brace is/are added to the latest item of the array.
