Re: pgAdmin3 bug

I downloaded the latest win32 version - dated 8/17, although the
executable was dated 8/15?

(This is where it pays off to do things different from everyone else.)

I created for myself an account named "stevie-o". Thus, to grant
access to the database, I have to do this:

grant select on foo to "stevie-o";

However, the little preview window that shows the script to recreate
the table gets a teeny little bit overzealous with the quote marks:

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE foo TO "\""stevie-o\""";

--
-- Stevie-O
Real programmers use COPY CON PROGRAM.EXE

This is correct, the new snapshot includes an old executable, with new docs.

Don't enter " in the name field. pgAdmin adds them as required.

I didn't enter " in the name field. The login name is stevie-o.
Because the hyphen is treated as a token separator, the grant
statement (as SQL) needs to look like this:

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE foo TO "stevie-o"

But when pgAdmin3 tries to show the SQL that would recreate table foo,
it appears to be adding two additional pairs of quotation marks.

This is pgadmin3 (2004/08/17) with PostgreSQL 7.4.3. It shows:

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE foo TO "\""stevie-o\""";

after I used this on psql:

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE foo TO "stevie-o";

Can anybody check this on 7.4? On 8.0 the acl has \" in it, seems this
is new.

Fixed in CVS, thanks for reporting.
