I hava a table as follows: euclidhardware=# select * from fabricantes; id_fabricante | nome | distribuidor | descricao ---------------+-----------+----------------------+----------- 1 | Genius | Atera informática | - 2 | Logitech | Atera informática | - 3 | Epson | Kalunga | - 4 | HP | Kalunga | - 5 | Lexmark | Kalunga | - 6 | Gigabyte | IMICROS | - 7 | ASUS | IMICROS | - 8 | ABIT | IMICROS | - 9 | AMD | IMICROS | - 11 | Intel | Balao da informática | - 12 | Kingston | Balao da informática | - 13 | Corsair | IMICROS | - 14 | Smartdata | ShopInfo | - 299 | ashhj | 78hkj | 8jhkljk When I do: brunodb=# \set fab 11 brunodb=# select * from fabricantes where id_fabricante = :fab; id_fabricante | nome | distribuidor | descricao ---------------+-------+----------------------+----------- 11 | Intel | Balao da informática | - OK, I get the right result. But it's seems that there is a bug for this: brunodb=# \set nom 'Intel' euclidhardware=# select * from fabricantes where nome like :nom; ERROR: column "intel" does not exist LINE 1: select * from fabricantes where nome like Intel; Please, I have tried exaustively many other ways to achieve this result, and searched many foruns. I dont realize where is my error, I think that it is a bug?
