psql for example expects a 6th "'" as end for the string. And it is
completely confused by the result :-)
To insert your obscure tuple, you have to 'escape' the "'".
Just try:
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('field1','fiel \' d2');
^^
the "'" is not interpreted as part of the sql-command but interpreted as
part of the string.
So long,
Holger
