Anyone know how to insert a ' into a Postgres DB? Can you just \ escape
it? I seem to remember trying a couple of things and they didn't work and
I didn't see it in the docs anywhere.

either '' or \' should work. There seems to be a small bug in the
corner case of ''''. See examples below:
jolly=> create table testTBL (f1 text);
CREATE
jolly=> insert into testTBL values ('This is Jolly''s test');
INSERT 1140266
jolly=> insert into testTBL values ('\'');
INSERT 1140267
jolly=> select * from testTBL;
---------------
| f1 |
---------------
| This is Jolly's test|
---------------
| ' |
---------------
jolly=> insert into testTBL values ('''');
INSERT 1140268
jolly=> select * from testTBL;
---------------
| f1 |
---------------
| This is Jolly's test|
---------------
| ' |
---------------
| |
---------------
jolly=> insert into testTBL values (' '' ');
INSERT 1140269
jolly=> select * from testTBL;
---------------
| f1 |
---------------
| This is Jolly's test|
---------------
| ' |
