Double quotes are for quoting column names, not string constants.

Better, but all strings, especially provided by some user, should be
treated by the function pg_escape_string.

Consider that some user types in a form field a text like this:

'; delete from seminar where ''='

When you add single quotes you get two valid queries. One of them is
what you would never want to be executed ;-)

And, by the way - pg_exec is a deprecated name AFAIK. The new one is
pg_query.
