Hi, I have this table on postgres-7.0.3

CREATE TABLE ciudad (
id_ciudad SERIAL,
ciudad VARCHAR(60)
);

GRANT ALL ON ciudad TO martin;

CREATE INDEX ciudad_idx ON ciudad (ciudad);

And I try to insert a value using this query:

INSERT INTO ciudad (ciudad) VALUES ("Villa Guillermina")

getting as responce the message:

ERROR: Attribute 'Villa Guillermina' not found.

The field ciudad is of type varchar(60), so I don't get why it gives me this
message.

Any ideas?

Re: problems with query

INSERT INTO ciudad (ciudad) VALUES ("Villa Guillermina")

Use single quotes instead of double quotes.

Re: problems with query

hi
Try to use single quotes rather than double quotes..
INSERT INTO ciudad (ciudad) VALUES ('Villa Guillermina');
rather than
INSERT INTO ciudad (ciudad) VALUES ("Villa Guillermina");

Hope this helps
