The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6162 Logged by: Emmanuel Guyot Email address: emmanuel.gu...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3 Operating system: Windows 7 Description: initdb : Windows username isn't escaped Details:
Initdb crashes when I use it with a windows username that has a quote inside (e.g. : L'élixir) Here is the error reported : initialisation des droits sur les objets internes... 2010-05-14 17:01:25.434 FATAL: syntax error at or near "élixir" at character 44 2010-05-14 17:01:25.434 STATEMENT: UPDATE pg_class SET relacl = E'{"=r/\\"L'élixir\\""}' WHERE relkind IN ('r', 'v', 'S') AND relacl IS NULL; If I force the username as an option with the escaped value L\'élixir the initdb works fine, but I can't start the server. So I can't find a workaround. I've watched the newer sources of initdb and I can't see any change for this bug. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
