I finally found some time to debug this, and I think I found a better
patch than the one you proposed. Mine is still hackish and is still a
workaround around a proper quoting solution, but at least it repairs
the parsing without introducing the \' quoting again.
I consider this a band-aid patch to fix the recent security update.
PostgreSQL gurus, would you consider applying this until a better
solution is found for DBMirror.pl?
Olivier, can you please confirm that the patch works for you, too?
Backpatched to 8.0.X.

1. Fixed bug where sequences were being mirrored incorrectly if they
exceeded 127
2. Fixed a bug in the perl script with mirroring sequences(John
Burtenshaw sent an email to patches describing the bug in March but I
htink he forgot to attach his patch)
3. The dates/times in the transaction files will always use 2 digits.

In incorperates changes from myself and a number of contributors.
This update to dbmirror provides:
-replication of sequence operations via setval/nextval
-DBMirror.pl support for logging to syslog
-changed the names of the tables to dbmirror_* (no quotes required)
-Support for writitng SQL statements to files instead of directly to
a slave database
-More options for DBMirror.pl in the config files.

only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
"SET search_path" commands were added to the beginning of the script.
The attatched patch should fix the problem. It probably should be
applied against the 7.3 and 7.4 branches.
Steven Singer
-Support for mirroring tables in different Schema's
-Improved documentation for compiling with 7.1.x and 7.2.x
-Fixes a buffer overrun bug.

Create objects in public schema.
Make spacing/capitalization consistent.
Remove transaction block use for object creation.
Remove unneeded function GRANTs.
