the way to escape the double-quote character in C is to use a backslash:
	PQexec("append Info (name=\"david\", login=\"dwill\", age=20)");

try this:

faerie:aoki (149)> cat foo.c
main()
{
  printf("%s\n", "this""is""my""string");
  printf("%s\n", "this\"is\"my\"string");
}
faerie:aoki (150)> cc foo.c
faerie:aoki (151)> a.out
thisismystring
this"is"my"string
faerie:aoki (152)>
