Re: Unable to prepare a statement when the object names contain more than one $ symbol

I think $$ should start a quote instead of $x$. Or $ character have special meaning but if there is one dollar does not happen anything wrong. Are $$ and $x$ equal? If yes, what happens with the character(s) between the two dollar signs?

If it thinks that's a dollar quote start, it's wrong already... that's
a perfectly valid table name. (Although personally I'd suggest that the
OP avoid dollar signs in identifiers, since they're none too portable.)
