I am surprised by the level of quoting seemingly required by org-mode to pass a variable to psql in :cmdline
The following works:
#+PROPERTY: header-args:sql :engine postgresql :dbhost my.host :database mydb :dbuser me
#+PROPERTY: header-args:sql+ :tangle no :results table :exports both
#+BEGIN_SRC sql :cmdline "-v this=\\'that\\'"
select :this as this
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| this |
|------|
| that |
However, I found no other quote/escape combination to work. At first I expected to work:
:cmdline "-v this=\'asdf\'"
... but it is an error.
Is this expected and consistent with other emacs behavior?
Is there another, perhaps simpler, way to pass variables to postgresql code block in org ob-sql?
Thanks,
Malcolm
