    With two adjacent single quotes?

    dbadmin=> create table data ( name varchar );
    CREATE TABLE
    

    dbadmin=> insert into data values ('Dav''id');
     OUTPUT
    --------
          1
    (1 row)
    

    dbadmin=> select * from data;
      name
    --------
     Dav'id
    (1 row)

    Another option:

    dbadmin=> create table data ( name varchar );
    CREATE TABLE
    
    dbadmin=> insert into data SELECT $$Dav'id$$;
     OUTPUT
    --------
          1
    (1 row)
    
    dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM data;
      name
    --------
     Dav'id
    (1 row)

  • I cant change the format of my values, because in my db, data are write like this « Dav’id. i want to know how can insert my data with this constraint

    What do you mean you can't change the format? Of the actual data? The Dollar ($$) quoted method is not changing the data format...

    Another example:

    dbadmin=> truncate table data;
    TRUNCATE TABLE
    
    dbadmin=> \d data
                                       List of Fields by Tables
     Schema | Table | Column |    Type     | Size | Default | Not Null | Primary Key | Foreign Key
    --------+-------+--------+-------------+------+---------+----------+-------------+-------------
     public | data  | name   | varchar(80) |   80 |         | f        | f           |
    (1 row)
    
    dbadmin=> INSERT INTO data VALUES ($$'Dav'id', 'Smith', Joe, ladouille'$$);
     OUTPUT
    --------
          1
    (1 row)
    
    dbadmin=> SELECT * FROM data;
                    name
    ------------------------------------
     'Dav'id', 'Smith', Joe, ladouille'
    (1 row)
    
  • q1 <- paste("COPY DB FROM local '",fichier,"' WITH DELIMITER AS ';' SKIP 1 ABORT ON ERROR",sep="")
    res <- dbSendUpdate(vertica1, q1)

    Error in .local(conn, statement, ...) :
    execute JDBC update query failed in dbSendUpdate ([Vertica]VJDBC ERROR: COPY: Input record 1 has been rejected (Invalid integer format '"Dav'id","XXXXXXX",0,"XXXX","XXXXXXXX","xxxxxx",NA,0,NA,NA,NA' for column 1 (nom_etablissement)))

    This is my error

    Can you post the structure of the DB table (column names and data types)?

    Is the nom_etablissement an integer?

    This simple example works fine using the COPY command:

    dbadmin=> \! cat /home/dbadmin/yourdata.txt
    "Dav'id","XXXXXXX",0,"XXXX","XXXXXXXX","xxxxxx",NA,0,NA,NA,NA
    
    dbadmin=> \d db
