Andrew Shubas (andrew(dot)shubas(at)pathcom(dot)com) reports a bug with a severity of 4
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
simbols in relation names

Long Description
Good afternoon!

We use chars as ':' ,or '=' ,or similar in the relations - views - names. Problem is that in the psql doing select from such views into the record i can't use relation names if that contains such chars as described. If i write something like rec."Name:i:20" i get an "ERROR: unterminated " in name rec."Name".

Thanks and have a nice weekend!
Andrew.

Can't reproduce that here ...

test72=# create table rec ("Name:i:20" int);
CREATE
test72=# insert into rec values(22);
INSERT 147932 1
test72=# select rec."Name:i:20" from rec;
Name:i:20
-----------
22
(1 row)

Can you give a complete example? And mention what version you're using?
