Hi,

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on phpPgAdmin 2.4.2 and I'm getting the following
error when I try and run a SQL query on a script:

Error -
/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpPgAdmin/db_readdump.php --
Line: 33
PostgreSQL said: ERROR: parser: unterminated quoted string at or near
"'Black Tea\015\012Fresh range of leaf tea for drinking black or with
milk,\015\012including Ceylons, Assams and favourites like Irish
Breakfast.\015\012\015\012Green Tea\015\012First quality Japanese & Chinese
popular green teas, including Bancha, Genmaicha & flavoured green
teas.\015\012\015\012Flavoured Tea\015\012Exotic and delicious, favourites

a\015\012delightful range of specially blended herbal infusions Fruit
Melanges;" at character 566

Any idea as to why this is doing this?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Daniel,

Without seeing the entire query I can't be sure, but I'm guessing there
should be a single quote after "Melanges" and before the semicolon.
(Remember that all strings in Postgres need to be in single quotes, so
unless the semicolon is actually part of the string and not the SQL
statement, that's the cause of the syntax error.)

HTH,
Jeremy

Because there is an unterminated quoted string? I see
a single quote just before "Black Tea", but I don't
see another anywhere in that string.

Thank you for your help.
