Обсуждение: apostrophes and psql variables

Hello!

Is there any way to have psql variable in apostrophes?

The idea is to do something like this

\set var 'some value'
insert into aaa values(:var)

after substisution it should as simple as
insert into aaa values('some value')

I've tried all reasonable quotings
I was able to make up but no any luck.

Thanks.

test=> \set var '\'some value\''
test=> insert into aaa values (:var);
INSERT 0 1
test=> select * from aaa;
    val
------------
 some value
(1 row)

You must have missed one, because:

root=# \set tv1 '\'testval\''
root=# insert into test values(:tv1);
INSERT 0 1
root=#
