Subject: [pgadmin-support] Bug with passwords that include apostrophes

pgAdmin version: latest bundled
OS: Windows XP

Description
-----------

Attempting to log into a database with pgAdmin using a password that
contains the apostrophe (') character causes this error:

"An error has occurred.

Error connecting to the server: missing "=" after "asdf" in connection info
string."

It's almost certain you have the same problem connecting with a username
with an apostrophe, or to a db name with one.

In the connection string you need to go:

password='asdf\'fdsa' dbname='dbname'

To properly escape it.
